I love to read, but will be the first to admit that between homeschooling and kids it’s very hard for me to find the time to read books for my own personal enjoyment. On top of that, it’s extremely rare for me to finish a book in a day. However, upon opening the book, A Daring Sacrifice, I wasn’t able to put it down. Lucky for me, it was a dreary Saturday morning and I had nothing but time on my hands for once.
Synopsis:
In a reverse twist on the Robin Hood story, a young medieval maiden stands up for the rights of the mistreated, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. All the while, she fights against her cruel uncle who has taken over the land that is rightfully hers. Forced to live in the woods and hide with the poor people she’s grown to love, she works to save and protect them, but she never anticipates falling in love with the wealthy knight who represents all she’s come to despise.

Our thoughts:
A Daring Sacrifice is the second book in the An Uncertain Choice series, however no worries if you haven’t had the chance to read the first book. This young adult title is a stand alone story in itself. While I’m obviously not a young adult, I found this book very hard to put down. Actually, I didn’t put it down at all until I completed it.
A Daring Sacrifice started off with a very intense scene which set the tone for the book and made you want to continue reading. This book was an excellent mix of romance and action and kept you wondering what was going to happen between Juliana and Collin.
Would Juliana be able to admit her love for Collin? Would she be able to continue hiding from her uncle that at thought she had died several years earlier at the time of the peasant uprising when her father was decimated? You’ll have to read the book to find out, but I promise you will not be disappointed.
Also, being that this book is a young adult title, it does offer discussion questions at the back of the book. Once you read the book as an adult, you’ll be able to see why these questions are in the back should your young adult read this title. These are questions that are sure to open up a wonderful discussion and topics that should be discussed.
