A novel taking place in Iron Age Ireland with modern words used for festivals, Druids being called "wizards," dragons, people wearing silk, gods' names misspelled and missing the required fadas, references to "Mother Goddess" and "The Goddess," neo-pagan concepts like 'water in the west,'...

I cannot respect authors of historical fiction who cannot be arsed to do research. This is a YA novel written merely to perpetuate romanticised (inaccurate) Neo-druidic beliefs about the Gaels.

I really enjoyed this book. I loved the archetypal imagery from her ordeal. This is a very short read. I know it is supposed to be 1 of 7 or 9 books. I'm looking forward to the others.
