Reflections in Time
Four frightened teenagers huddle for warmth in the darkness. Trapped in a cave for days, their batteries have died and the spring water they’ve been drinking contains a dangerous toxin. As James, Emma, Tom and Delyth succumb to the mind-altering poison, they sense they’re being watched. Across a vast passage of time the Druid Myrleduin is waiting.
Transported through the ages, they emerge into a brutal Iron Age world of warring Celtic tribes, encountering fearsome warriors, fanatical druids and romance.
Can they survive and find a way home?
The first of the Celtic Dreamtime books, a series of Iron Age adventures set in the ancient and mystical landscape of West Wales.

An enjoyable read with a well researched Iron Age setting, would recommend.
Prose: 7/10 - A good, easy to read prose that keeps the story moving without being overly complicated or long.
Character development: 9/10 - characters develop well throughout the story in a believable way. The main romance plot is believable in people of that age and develops consistently and believably through the e book.
World building: 10/10 - well researched Iron Age world, discovered a fair bit about iron ages Wales that I didn’t know before and was one of the main draws of the book.
Pacing: 8/10 - Events were paced well and kept the story moving, never really got boring nor felt like the author had added filler for the sake of it.
Ending: 7/10 - it was a good ending though a touch predictable in the major twist of the story. It certainly left the space for a follow up.
Overall: 8/10 - an enjoyable book that I would recommend due to its strong pacing action and well researched Iron Age world, look forwards to the follow up.
