You did a great job on this review. It sounds like it has a very interesting story line, and I will definitely try it out since you gave it such a high review. It wasn't what I was expecting, so I think I may actually enjoy it.

Thank you! Your review was very thorough. Urban fantasy is a good genre in general, but this book surely stands above the crowd. Archer seems like a normal teen until he discovered his not-so-normal Celtic ancestry! Surely, that's a lot to take in after a family tragedy. I'm definitely reading this book!

I always love a good urban fantasy. I absolutely enjoy reading books with mythology tied into them, not to mention great world-building and deep character development. This definitely looks like a book I'd enjoy.

Thanks for your glowing review! If the author is in the same league as Jim Butcher and Lilith Saintcrow, Roan is the next book I'll be reading.

this is a very nicely written book, in which the character must decide which side of life he wants to be on if not he will be stuck in in either world,which is light or darkness.it is a good work from the author,packaging action,and magic in one.weldone

I loved your review and it is obvious how passionate you are about this book. I am a fan of fantasy novels, but more importantly I love mythology from other cultures. The combination of Native American, Celtic, and Christian traditions sounds awesome.

Alluring review! I'm all about fantasy novels, especially ones that are fast-paced, filled with mystery, and are able to build a world instead of just glancing over it. I intend to add it to my reading list!
