Fantasy books are always captivating. Your detailed review makes me more curious about this story. This book offers classic of good versus evil with enough twists. The scientific and mystical aspects add layers of intrigue to the narrative. And the supernatural element feels fresh. seems like it might be worth a second look. Wonderful review!

This book sounds like it’s full of allegories, from Native American to Celtic. A very different kind of concept. I love stories set in different worlds, and I love that there are also scientific aspects in it, thanks for highlighting that in your review!!

The author does a great job of creating an eery atmosphere with the fog slowly creeping up the two rivers in the opening chapter. I ended up reading at that slower pace savouring the word choice.

"Roan: The Tales of Conor Archer" by E.R. Barr immerses readers in the unique reality of a little Wisconsin town called Tinker’s Grove with a blend of myth, otherworldly powers, and mysterious shapeshifters known as the Roan. Great review on this book but I'm not really into paranormal reads so I'm going to pass on this one. Still, congratulations to the author for BOTD.

I've previously read the sample of this book, and I was heartbroken by Conor's loss. I was also intrigued to find out about his origins and what the woman's prophecy means. I'll check this book out.

The combination of mythology, paranormal, and fantasy sounds very interesting and spellbinding. As the reviewer suggested, I would really like to try an audiobook. Thank you for such a descriptive review.

'Official Review: Roan: The Tales of Conor Archer' by E. R. Barr has an interesting introduction. It serves as a brief thesis on the story for readers. The point that the story immerses the reader in the reality of the town called Tinker Grove with a blend of myth, otherworldly powers, and mysterious shapeshifters is worth mentioning in the review. Readers would learn that it is a story full of mysticism and legend. Also, as mentioned in the review, good prevails over evil in this story. Learning that the worldbuilding in the story is rich was great!

The dynamics between characters, especially the intricate dance between good and evil, pique my interest, promising a gripping narrative that explores the depths of human nature.
I believe in something greater than myself.

I'm quite curious to know more about conor's connection with the dark ones. It's quite an exceptional book, I must say. Congrats on getting the BOTD.
