Urban Fantasy is one of my least favorite subgenres, yet I enjoyed this immensely. I often use the book and author descriptions to decide if the writing style will be to my taste, since both are usually written by the author.

When it comes to mythology we always find ourselves in the middle of tensions between good and evil. This already sounds like a lovely read set in a close community and it promises alot of emotional engagement. Can't wait.
Thanks for the lovely review.

This book tells the story of Conor and the truths he begins to discover about his ancestors. There is a lot that Conor has to know, and I would love to embark on the quest of knowledge with him by reading this book. Thanks for your review.

The review gave such an in-depth analysis of what to expect from the book. I am not too keen on urban fantasy but once in a while I dive in if I find the plot intriguing enough. The theme of good vs evil is so universal and such an important aspect of supernatural fiction but I am so over them. For me it is - to read or not to read that is the question.

From the excellent review, I can see that the reviewer is familiar with urban fantasy and this book sounds intriguing. I would like to know whether Conor decides to become the warrior of light or harbinger of darkness. I like the mix of Celtic and native Indian legends, as well as the Celtic songs.

This is an original and compelling Urban Fantasy. This tale is epic in scope, destined to become a saga. Despite the story’s magnitude, however, it takes the life of a classic campfire story. This intriguing tale is a must read.
The review is superb.
Congratulations on Botd 🎉

The review has greatly piqued my interest in this mystical coming of age fantasy tale. Roan, a teenager is unaware of his heritage that tends towards the supernatural and mysterious. The book is more of a decision about one’s destiny. Should one bend towards a pre ordained past, or forge one’s own future? The book sounds really educative and well researched. Only a great author is able to put together light and darkness and get away with it. Complex as it sounds, I am still compelled to read this book because of this review. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your review! This sounds like an adventurous book, but I do not want adventurous books right now. I want to read something that is calm, would give this a chance in the future though. Thank you so much for the review again!
