Overall an enjoyable book. It's well-written, but I'm not sure if I'm really sold on the characters. None of the protagonists really jumped out at me. There wasn't really someone I gravitated towards and was cheering for throughout th story. I'm a still debating whether I'd be interested in reading book 2 of this trilogy.

This series (The Watchers) is a prequel to the Circle and the Cross / The Wanderers trilogy. The story takes us back to events around the arrival of Gaels in Ireland, to the Fir-Bolg and the Tuatha De Danaan and their enemies - the Fomorian Watchers. Fabulous story-telling from Caiseal Mor.

Slow action, but there are moments which truly interested me. Good fantasy book.

DNF.

Nope. You don't get to write an abrupt perspective shift on page 3 and expect me to be okay with it. I have too many books to get rid of to try and get through this.

http://www.infinityplus.co.uk/nonfiction/meetingwaters.htm[return][return] Many authors have attempted to grapple with Irish mythology and transform it into something lucrative for today's market; there seems to be a whole sub-genre of Celtic Mist fantasy, which no doubt sells well among the 60 million strong Irish diaspora, with a subsidiary market among the smaller (but probably on average more highbrow) Pagan community. I blame Marion Zimmer Bradley, myself; her Mists of Avalon is taken almost as holy writ in some quarters. (Perhaps Robin of Sherwood should take some responsibility too.)[return][return]Caiseal M

Liked well enough to get the next book in the series. Gets a little slow occasionally.

This was a very slow moving book. It had potential to be very exciting. It did get better toward the end. I will not be reading book two.
