Irish folklore

[Falling4Ever]

I didn’t really know Irish culture and folklore until this book. I really enjoyed it and felt like it make the book what it is and wouldn’t be the same without it.

The spooky ghost stories added another layer of suspense to the plot, so I appreciated their inclusion.

Before reading this book, I did not know any specific Irish ghost legends, but the author cleverly wrote about the Yeats Tower ghost, which tied in well with the climax of the story.

I agree, these stories added a lot more stock to the main story. It was also interesting to learn about

I have always been into ghost stories so the inclusion of Irish folklore was very entertaining.

I am right there with you. It was as if we were receiving a lesson on another culture's beliefs and traditions in addition to a complex mystery plot. All of the subplots happening within the novel and the focus on Irish folklore helped flush out Claire's character and make her more real in our heads.

I don't know much about Irish lore, thought i find it very interesting. I also had no idea that Irish myth had made it way into the book seeing as I have yet to read it, but know i'm invested!

Adding parts of Irish folklore was relevant especially since Hilary was trying to find her Irish heritage

The book present me the first opportunity to keep tabs with Irish folklore. Great to know about the threatening famine and the ghost stories.

[Jajachris]

I have always considered Irish folklore to be interesting.
The part of the book I easily connected with was when Bridget said, “A famine is when there isn’t enough food. ‘A Great Hunger’ is what it really was. Thousands were forced to starve.”

That statement reminded me of the civil war that happened in my country, Nigeria. My father told me that hunger was a tool used to fight and win in that war.

I absolutely adore learning new things about history, and being of Scotch-Irish descent, I knew a fair amount about Irish folklore and myths beforehand. I didn't get very far in this book, but I may pick it up again to get a more thorough picture of how my previous knowledge fits the book.

The Irish paranormal folklore is definitely very interesting. I got curious about it too and would definitely like to found more books and stories that fulfill this curiosity. Recommendations are welcome.

It was super interesting to read about Irish folklore in the book because I wasn't very familiar with it. Plus it was presented off in a captivating way.

My family just can't get enough of Irish folklore. I am over a third Irish and just feel a pull to it. I also love a good book set in Ireland!

As for interesting folklore, I recently just learned about hobgoblins and find them fascinating!

I haven't read so much on this subject so there's so much to pick up, for me.
