Book Review: STARKLY BRILLIANT--THE LEGEND OF YOUNG ATTILA
Summary: 5 Stars

They needed bold, even ruthless leaders to accomplish this monumenal task, yet they were also inspired and championed by a mysterious animal protector--a magnificent white stag with supernatural power. It is difficult for us moderns to admire the Huns, a name synonymous with bloodthirsty aggresssion and destruction of post-Romanic culture. Yet Seredy's goal is to justify this epic migration--a March of Terror spanning three generations, which enabled her ancestors to achieve their self-imposed dream. They focused on steadfast obedience to their god, Hadur, who told them of a Promised Land "between two rivers, surrounded by mountains." There is both literary genius and respect in this saga of the birth and destiny of young Attila. This slender volume is actually a mini epic, piercing the curtain between History and Legend. For readers of all ages.
