Boy was this hard to finish. I could not get into the story line or the character development. It felt haphazard in many ways. I powered through for the sake of my reading challenge but was very tempted to just abandon it for another title.

I enjoyed the fact that this book avoided a lot of the main fantasy tropes. At times the setting changed abruptly which I found jarring but in a good way.

Leprechauns?
So Tommin is a Leprechaun in training . . . The background story was great. The fact that it jumps forward from the 19th to the 21st century . . . Even better. I liked it.

This was an interesting fantasy novel about leprechauns and their society. The first half of the book takes place in the past. I really enjoyed the Irish folktale-vibes from the first half. The second half takes place in the present, and felt a bit slower.
I split this one between reading and audio. The narrator is great, with a lovely Irish accent, which was a perfect fit for the story. If you read it, try to get the audio/text version, or just the audio version, because the narrator made the book even better.

What a whimsical ride! The story was a refreshing leprechaun tale that was so fun to read. The ending seemed a bit rushed, but overall I would definitely recommend!
