Review #1

After reading the first three books in the Morland dynasty, I couldn’t wait to start this one. It started out promising but by the end I kept checking how close I was to being done. I felt a disconnect with this book and never felt like it was as engrossing and exciting as the others. None of the characters seemed to develop for me as they have previously. I usually feel like I know them inside and out; in this case I kept getting people confused because she jumped back and forth so much. I am starting on book 5 now. Fingers crossed it will be more like the first three books.

Review #2

The Oak Apple audiobook in series Morland Dynasty

I got a little confused this time with so many of the characters having the same name. I would like for the family tree to be clearer. I am really interested in the American branch now.

This is perhaps the best of the four Morland Dynasty novels I have read. It is set during the Civil War in England, beginning in 1630 and closing with the execution of Charles I in 1649. The history unfolds through the lives of various members of the Morland family who find themselves divided by their loyalties and forced along different paths, often at odds with those they love most. The fictional characters here are, on the whole, more engaging than in the previous novels, and through their stories, I began to have a far better understanding of what had transpired during these years.

To be sure, I had been taught about the Civil War in England, and of course I knew that Charles I had been beheaded by his political enemies. But in spite of this, I did not understand much about it, especially the causes of the war and reasons for such bitterness and extreme action. Viewing the history through the eyes of “real” people made it concrete and far more tragic than it had ever appeared during a high school/college lecture or in the pages of any history book I had read.

This book was worthwhile and I certainly will continue my journey through British history with the Morlands. There are at least 35 books in this series, so it will be a long journey for sure. If the accuracy of the history and the quality of the narrative continue, I most likely will as well.

Review #3

Audiobook The Oak Apple by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles

In the fourth installment of the Morland dynasty books, the family are confronted with civil war, as king and parliament fight for control of England in the 1640s.

The civil war divides the family – Roundhead against Cavalier, Puritan against Catholic/Anglican. The family members are torn between family loyalty and individual conscience. As with previous books, the fortunes of the characters are well blended with actual historical people and events. The Morland heir Richard marries a Puritan, while his brother Kit fights for King Charles I and gives up his life at the battle of Marsden. Their cousins are sent to Virginia to claim land for the Morlands, and become American pioneers.

There is a large time gap between this book and the previous one “The Princeling”. Characters that had just been born in the last few pages of book 3, are now middle aged adults with children of their own. It took some time to connect the current family members with those in the last book, but the family tree at the front was helpful.

Review #4

Audio The Oak Apple narrated by Christopher Scott

During the clash between the armies of Charles 1 and the Commonwealth forces, lead by Oliver Cromwell, the Morland family followed their long tradition of being staunch supporters of the King. The ensuing time of strife that followed meant that the cream of the Morland men were killed in battle and that the times after that were made difficult and dangerous by the need to appear to conform to the Puritan code and the loss of a large portion of their fortune and lands through fines. Schisms form between father and son and husband and wife, separating sections of the family and even cause the beginning of the American branch of the Morlands settling in Virginia. It’s a time of huge religious intolerance between different sects and, as usual, it’s the poor and underpriveleged who suffer the most hardships. It’s a great book 4 of this series which gives the reader a clear insight into the lives of a family in the 16th and 17th centuries.

Love her books, I am going through them one by one. Most the women are awful and dominant, they send their young men off to war without a backward glance and I do find there are maybe a few too many characters for me to follow everyone. Over all I enjoy history and putting a personal although fictitious slant into true events brings things to life. Excellent stuff. It did worry me a bit that what I write does seem to be of the same style yet I had never read any of Harrod-Eagles before I had the Poet’s Trap published. There are also a great many type-errors in the books, I think this is general as well.

As fans of this series would expect, this book is unputdownable, and I read it in 2 days. However, beware that this is a very poor transcription to Kindle, obviously done electronically without anyone proof reading it. Words on virtually every page have been mistranscribed, and the word ‘the’ is repeatedly written as ‘die’. So irritating! As a tip, if you do buy the kindle version, Cynthia Harrod Eagles web page has the family tree which you can print off and keep in your kindle case, as the kindle version is unreadable, and I always find the tree useful at the beginning of her books until you get back into the family relationships.
