Editorial Reviews
E.R. Barr has created a world that sucks you in and won’t let go. His knowledge and understanding of Celtic lore and legends is impressive and expansive. The imagery he paints with his words is astounding. From beggining to end the story flows well making it hard to stop reading. The struggle between good and evil is a timeless tale molded into almost every story ever told, but E.R. Barr manages to throw a fresh spin on it that will truely delight any reader.
Barr excels at world-building. While he cites a few sources at the end of the book, it is clear that he has used existing Native American and Celtic lore to create a rich mythic heritage all his own. This ability to write cryptic, intriguing verses makes the magical parts of the story more believable. There exists just the right amount of realism when the legendary comes in contact with reality so that a sense of disbelief remains properly suspended.
