Although Sidroc the Dane is often read after the first couple of Circle of Ceridwen Saga books, Sidroc really sets the historical context for the whole series and also sets the. Background for one of the Main Characters of the Series.
Octavia Randolph has an amazing ability to “set the scene”, to build a background of daily activities that are relevant, that evoke the lives and times of her Characters and to build those Characters in to “real” people whose lives become one with yours. Whose lives journeys move the readers soul.
Sisdroc the Dane offers an insight into the lives of the young Danes who came to Raid through England in the 9th Century. For those of us without academic historical knowledge this fiction helps us to better understand and to understand our own history.
