Here is what people are saying about the Until the Sun Falls
 ""We are sworn to conquer the world"" | 2009-07-18 |

"We are sworn to conquer the world, and to do so we will fight until the sun falls"- Psin
Except for the name Genghis Khan, not much is now remembered in the popular mind of the largest contiguous land empire in history. At its height in the 13th century the Mongol empire stretched through most of Eurasia from China to Austria. 'Until the Sun Falls' by Cecelia Holland tells the story of the General Psin and the Mongol advance through Russia to the gates of Vienna.
Cecelia Holland deftly intertwines battles, political intrigue and family conflicts into a well written story. It is a very interesting narrative full of action and violence. Told from the Mongols point of view, Holland depicts the brutality of their conquest while still representing their culture sympathetically. A valuable insight into one of the most important chapters in world history, much neglected in the west, and a good story well told. |

| "One of the best historical fiction novels ever" | 2007-08-05 |
| - Reviewed By allendl6 |
| Cecilia Holland, like Rosemary Sutcliff, has written many historical fiction novels of high caliber, but "Until the Sun Falls" stands in a category by itself. This novel is remarkable, all the more so for telling a tale rarely broached by Western writers: the invasion of Russia and Eastern Europe by the descendents of Mongol leader Temujin Genghis Khan in the 13th century. Holland's writing captures the violent and brutal--but also occasionally tender--world of these hordes as they sack city after city with their superior cavalry skills. You very quickly get caught up in their world and find yourself rooting for the main characters despite their brutality. The attention to detail--particularly on Mongol military tactics and horsemanship--is outstanding and will greatly appeal to militarists and equestrians as much as historical fiction fans. I have read a LOT of historical fiction, and "Until The Sun Falls" is in my top 5 all-time. Wading through the difficult (for ignorant Westerners such as myself) names and relationships of the main characters takes some effort, but the payoff is well worth it. |

In 1970 I got a paperback of this book. I have read it as much as 3 times a year and at least once a year ever since. I am currently wearing out my third copy.
The historic events and details of the life style of the peoples represented in this book are as close as one can get to being there without actual time travel.
This is the book that got me interested in Russian history to the point that I made history my major in college and focused on Russian history as my speciality.
I took my user name from the main character of this book many years ago both as a tribute to Ms. Holland and it is one that I will never forget.
Of all of Cecelia Holland's novels, this one should have been made into a movie by now. |

| "One of the finest historical fiction novels ever written" | 2002-12-13 |
| - Reviewed By spurman4 |
I am thrilled this is back in print. When I first read it 25 years ago at one point I actually put it down in tears, as I could not bear for it to end.You end up identifying so strongly with these terrifying warriors, and yet they come across as totally human, and able to separate their military duties from teir family life.When I found myself mentally sitting on a horse beside Psin Khan as he calmly torched a Russian church filled with villagers, and I felt TOTALLY cold-hearted about it,I knew this author had accomplished something extraordinary.As a post-script, historical novelists stand and fall with me as to how they can describe horses and the physical act of riding.Perhaps this is unfair, but I am a riding instructor and these things ,done incorrectly,grate. Holland is ALWAYS spot on.
I do not own this bok, but it is easily in my personal Top Ten Books list. |

| "Possibly Holland's best work" | 2001-02-12 |
| - Reviewed By jnsreese |
| I first read this book not long after it's first publication, in the early 70's. It sparked a facination that's lasted all this time with the Mongol Empire, and the people who created and peopled it. I've probably read "Until the Sun Falls" 10 times over the years, and each time it's been a joy to read. The other research I've done has never uncovered anything to contradict Ms. Holland's history in the book. The foreward is as good a capsule history of the Mongols as anything you'll find anywhere. Her handling of the interpersonal relationships of the characters,and the politics of Empire are fascinating and keep the reader turning the pages. And nobody does battle scenes like Cecelia Holland. It's a huge story, placed on the canvas of the biggest empire the world has ever seen (and the greatest threat Western civilisation ever faced) and the book more than does justice to the story. |
