This is not a quick read. You won't read this in an hour at the beach. Every word must be savored in order to paint Boyne and it's inhabitants correctly. Throughout the entire book you get a feeling of being a part of something epic, something amazing. Though I'll admit it took me a few chapters to really get into the story and characters, once I was, there was no pulling back out.

Those who love mythology and historical fiction will adore this book. It's well-written, well-edited and beautifully worded. Dunn has a knack for getting you to picture a scene while giving you as few details as possible. His vivid style of writing, along with the fine mist of legend, will stay with you long after you finish reading.
