very good read.
My Rating: B
My Review:
Reminiscent of The Odyssey in it's hero goes on quest and everyone dies before he gets back plot line, this book moves rather slow. It's saving grace is really that Ms. Llywelyn is an excellent writer and has the ability to make the Isles of Blest come to life on the pages, as well as ancient Erin itself.
The story is told very much like a legend and so the characters are grandiose and hard to feel like you could know on a personal level. There aren't really any 'bad' guys either, though this isn't a problem, it just makes the plot a bit more hazy.
All in all it's a very nice little read, and I don't intend on putting down any of Morgan Llywelyn's books any time soon.
