Children of Time

The After Cilmeri Series, Book 4

By: Sarah Woodbury

Narrated by: Laurel Schroeder

November 1288. Bereft of a king or rightful heir, England hurtles towards civil war for the second time in a generation. When David, Prince of Wales, and his wife, Lili, travel to London to attend the wedding of William de Bohun and Princess Joan, they have no intention of involving themselves in local politics. But as infighting leads to murder, David and Lili find themselves at the center of a far-reaching conspiracy. Trapped between history and legend, they must decide how much they are willing to sacrifice to save not only their own country, but the people of England as well. Meanwhile, back in Wales, Llywelyn and Meg discover that time is no barrier to either adventure or trouble ... Children of Time, book four in the After Cilmeri series, continues the story of Llywelyn, Meg, and their children in the medieval kingdom of Wales.

Yes , I can't Waite to get exiles in time

exciting adventures in medieval Wales

I really enjoy this series! I think it really gets going in books 2 and 3 as the characters integrate more into Welsh life.

Narrator makes a great story come alive!

If you could sum up Children of Time in three words, what would they be?

Change requires self-sacrifice

What did you like best about this story?

After Woodbury's attention to historic and cultural detail and the alternate universe elements , I enjoyed the way so many of the characters in Children of Time accepted personal change for the benefit of their family and their country. David especially.

What does Laurel Schroeder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Schroeder has hit her stride on this, the fourth Cilmeri book she's narrated. In the previous three books she made each character's personality vivid and distinct. However in Children, it seems that she is more comfortable, her narration more relaxed and confident. Perhaps she isn't trying so hard to perfectly recreate the Welsh accents or pronounce the Welsh words, which is great for my old American English ears! Whatever the reason, Schroeder's performance (again) makes 13th century Wales come alive.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I gasped once or twice at the intrigue and perfidy common to Medieval politics. Was saddened by David's reluctant acceptance of power thrust upon him. Also touched by Meg's courageous, and literal, leap of faith to save Llywelyn's life.

Any additional comments?

Don't make us wait so long for Book 5!
