Questa recensione è stata scritta per Recensori in anteprima di LibraryThing.
Received from LibraryThing's March 2013 Early Reviewers.

Alex is interviewed by Lindsay, a female English journalist, after the discovery of a fighter jet too deep in the Scottish waters. When flying her home, both of them crash through a strange vortex, and find themselves in 14th Century Scotland during one of the most politically active times in the country's history. They need to tread carefully to survive, and consider getting home somehow.

Both seem to be particularly "lucky" - Lindsay somehow has enough knowledge of Old English to get them through the first few encounters, and Alex has enough fighting experience to make him useful. The book is focussed mainly on Alex, never showing us a view on Lindsay when it's not in relation to Alex, and we never get to see the situation from her standpoint. Alex seems to settle in well and fast, and doesnt seem to think about finding a way back to the 21st Century.....the "fairy folk" seem to be barely threatening and rarely make much of an appearance - the book seems focussed on the historical and fighting portion rather than the need to get back

There are at least 2 other books in this series, so I presume these are addressed in later books ( )

When American fighter pilot Alexander MacNeil and English journalist Lindsay Pawlowski take off on what should be a routine flight, they don’t expect to crash land in 14th century Scotland. But when they come face to face with King Robert the Bruce himself they need to quickly adapt to their new reality to ensure their survival in a country ravaged by war. The story is entertaining enough to hold my attention, although there is surprisingly little focus on the two questions of how our main characters got to where they are and whether there is a way for them to get back until the last part of the novel.
I found it hard to connect to the characters. It might be because Alex slips into the role of knight a little too easily. Through his eyes, Lindsey is portrayed as silly and unreasonable when she points that out to him. As a reader I have to agree with her. Medieval traits might be reasonable in a medieval character, but when a modern day character acts the same way it makes him look like a jerk. When Alex develops an almost toxic jealousy towards anyone going near Lindsay it is hard to find sympathy for his actions.
The Early Review copy I got had an appalling number of spelling mistakes, that took me out of the story again and again. It wasn’t a simple mistype here and there, but rather a series of buts turning out as huts and the like. Something a half way decent editor should have caught. ( )

Not my thing. I couldn't get past Lindsay's exposition dumps and Alex's luck. I gave up on page 116, so I can't really say anything for the rest of the novel.

Much of this story was compelling enough to get me through from beginning to end but there were many parts of the book that I did not like. None of the characters were detailed enough to care about or not. Everything's written from the context of the white male lead so you'd think that there would be enough detail about him at least but he's presented as simple and flawless. He's not very sympathetic and he's successful in everything he does and since we experience the story from his perspective only, I never felt like I cared what happened to him which was fine since nothing really does. Perhaps I'll read newer stuff by this author? ( )

Sigh. I have tried three times to read this book, and can't make myself do it. I rarely leave a book unfinished, and usually have a couple going at once.

It's disappointing. I got this as a free ebook from LibraryThing, and I loved the concept. History? Airplanes? Sure! But it is such a plodding read, so... boring.

The characters are shallow. The pacing is slow. The plot? It just doesn't make me care about what is happening. ( )
