Review

--From The Kindle Book Review:

While a time-travel romance, the relationship between Meg and Prince Llewlyn of Wales is not cliché. It's truly two people struggling to overcome their different backgrounds and the current political climate of 13th century Wales to follow their hearts. The completely fresh storyline of a Daughter of Time is one of the strongest aspects of this story.

Daughter of Time is a sweetheart style romance in that the sexual scenes take place off stage, and an enjoyable look at chivalry in a way that explains how functional it was for the time period, and not just a cliché romantic notion modern readers have about knights in shining armor.

Overall, I give this book 5 stars and recommend you grab a copy or at least download a sample for yourself.

--From Bookbub:

Prepare for an enchanting ride when troubled Meg tumbles back in time to Medieval Wales, joining Prince Llywelyn in the battle to preserve his kingdom -- [a] strikingly fresh story of love between worlds ...

I actually read the first in this series for a change! I do love Time Travel-If you do also you will enjoy reading this book and wanting to read the rest of the series just as I do!Meg's husband was an abuser so when he was killed in an auto accident-she was sad but--She had a little daughter--they went to live with her Mom who told her tales of Wales and taught her one or two of the words.Meg needed to go to the store and took her little girl with her. At the same spot her husband died her car went off the road--they ended up in Wales in a century not their own. Llywelyn, the Prince of Wales managed to save them both! He took them back to his home and each has to learn about the other. As I am sure you know they ultimately fall in love---then Meg and her daughter somehow end up back with her Mom!This story does not end here---I want to know what happens next!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Not the best time travel novel I’ve ever read, but an okay read.
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2024

A lot of time travel novels are somewhat believable. This was not one of those novels. Considering Meg didn’t speak Welsh, and we had no prior knowledge of her “fluent” French while living in U.S.A, Meg managed to have full conversations with Llewelyn and his men in both the Welsh and French languages. Also her child was two when she landed in Wales, but spoke to her mother in full sentences hardly the language of a two year old. From the outset when Meg arrived in 13th Century Wales she was ‘accepted’ much too quickly. Llewelyn conferred with her on battle strategy etc.. yet she had no knowledge of how battles were fought or how life was lived at that time. That was just too far fetched.

Finally, Meg’s return to 21st century happened too abruptly and it seemed as the author just wanted to finish the story quickly. I will not be reading any more time travel novels by this author..

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Novella to start this fabulous series
Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2019

This book is not a “cliffhanger,” it was added later to explain how the SERIES (you know, a series continues?) began, since the series was so wonderfully popular! And it is wonder.

For those who don’t seem to understand that this book is the PREQUEL to the After Cilmeri series, here is the explanation. Footsteps in Time was the first full book in the series, then Daughter of Time was written later to explain how Footsteps happened.

I love this book, as it is also a novella, shorter yet to the point, leading the reader directly into the next book. And it is exciting, funny, and very interesting how the main heroine realizes she has time traveled. I do not actually care for Outlander in comparison, mainly because it takes Outlander’s main character way too long to realize she is not in her real time! And she runs from the people who help her? Where to? Please.

Daughter of Time has clear explanations, and a very savvy heroine. I have all the books now, and the next one will be published in 2021, and hopefully the stories will continue. This book is one of my favorites, yet all of them are my favorites. I have read the whole series 7 times, and am more than half way through reading my 8th time all of them. Well written, the concept is so engaging. The characters are well described, and also very humorous how the ones from the future interact with those in the Medieval times. These are by far my most favorite of books, and I have read a lot of time travel books, believe me, since it’s my favorite genre. This book is free almost all the time just so the readers can get into what I believe to be the best series ever written. We fall in love with the characters, their lives and loves, and follow them as they grow in their challenges and battles they encounter! I am always impatient for the next one!

3.0 out of 5 stars History was interesting.
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2012

This one was a mixed bag for me. I mostly read science fiction, fantasy, random science books and a mystery here or there, but time travel romances are my very occasional guilty pleasure. I'm a history nut and given that I was in the middle of a physics book it seemed like a good time for a little light reading on the side. So, I picked up Daughter of Time: A Time Travel Romance which is a prequel to the After Cilmeri series by Sarah Woodbury on a free promotion along with a couple of others to see if I could find one to read. This was definitely the best of the lot, didn't get deleted after the first two pages (as did the others), and I finished it without any problem. I mean it is what it is, but it wasn't bad for light reading of the time travel romance variety and I'm rating it with those things in mind. So I'm giving it a 3 because the history was interesting, language problems were explained and that sort of thing. There was no great explanation for the actual time travel, but sometimes that's better. If you sit down to read a time travel romance and expect too much then you're likely to be disappointed. It's something to take with a grain of salt and with that in mind (as I hovered between a 2 or 3 for the ranking), I decided on the 3 because it was basically enjoyable and it was free. There were some problems with the story line where it made me pause, but not so bad that I had to shut it and run away. I won't be reading it again, but some of it was really interesting and it was just barely a romance; very light compared to many out there and nothing graphic (pretty safe all the way around).

This read is for all ages! A good story where I felt connected with the characters and the life they were living. Switching each chapter to the thoughts of the main characters was very clever. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.

Daughter of Time (Book 1) by Sarah Woodbury
It was my first attempt at a novel from Sarah Woodbury , I have to say I enjoy reading time travelers’ stories and this one was no exception.
Well written novel with a specific catching atmosphere to it, even if very often the starting element for a time displacement is linked to a trauma or an accident, the story is nevertheless original and very entertaining.
The description of 12th century Wales world is very vivid, one totally lives through the story with Meg and Anna. The magic of writing works well since one ends up caught in the story and the adventure feels even more gripping, leaving the readers with some unanswered questions which require the pleasure of reading the following novel.

The characteres lack passion and emotion. I was like: oh, they love each other. Hmm, wow. Wouldn't have thought... seriously, I don't need explicit sex scenes á la Shades of Grey, but a little bit of cuddling or a passionate kiss now and then would have made the book so much better.
So, no I will not continue with the series, even if the story is good.
The characteres are too shallow...

5.0 out of 5 stars An intriguing story of love and political machinations in 13th century Wales
Reviewed in Australia on September 19, 2020
Verified Purchase
Initially I was unsure about this as the historic aspects of the story were interesting but a bit much and too much detail but the actual story as it develops did draw me in, so much so that I ended up reading the next two with the fourth one to read as well. Exploring aspects of life in the 13th century and the relationship between the two main characters was quite fascinating. The ending was rather unexpected, hence the need to read the next one. It’s not exactly a cliffhanger, but close. The books actually became more interesting as I went along. If you like the machinations of leaders in that time and the political intrigue, even within families, this is the book for you. But it’s also a love story of people out of time who make the most of life.
