I read this book in less than a day because I couldn’t put it down! It deals a lot with Irish folklore which prior to my reading I wasn’t familiar with at all. Some things I struggled to understand due to this and had to reread a few things multiple times. No big deal, it didn’t take me out of the immersive story. This was truly unlike anything I have ever read before. I don’t want to say much about this novel as I feel like the synopsis from Nightfire is all you need and if that peaks your interested then I say dive right in!
