"So much fun, action, Irish mythology. Great fantasy read. Even better in audio version because the talented narrator only adds to the enjoyment. "

"I loved this book. I didn’t know how I was going to like the Irish mythology mixed with the modern world but I really enjoyed it. It was really freaking funny. (Oberon was by far the best character)"

"I absolutely love the way this author brings to life such lost and historic beings and manages to make them all come together so fluidly. Not to mention the humor and the characters just rock."
