Estrange mythology! And as the prophecies are foretold, its complicating as Conor can’t accept his place as a warrior of Light, then he is destined to be the harbinger of Darkness. this tale will make a great read ................obviously....

Urban fantasy sounds completely new to me. Nevertheless your review of the novel is so captivating. Also i'm interested in some the concept the writer explored such as the concept of good and evil and the celtic myth.
Thanks for a great review

I didn't really read much about Urban fantasy books, but I classify E. R. Barrs' book as based on his research of lores, a good one. Simply done yet its a good read. Needn't say more after reading your review, thanks.

A great job by putting together myths, legends, and folklore in a real-time setting in this story which is about Conor Archer, a teenage boy from Chicago. He comes to know about the mystery of his Celtic ancestry when there is a tragedy in his family. Nice character building in this book makes it an engaging read.
life is only knowing the unknown, we can do this by reading books easily- Online book club is a great place for this. This is what I believe.

This story focuses on Conor Archer, a teen from Chicago who finds out he has a mysterious Celtic ancestry during a family tragedy. Conor goes to Wisconsin and he begins to learn of his bloodline and of residents in a small town that share his common heritage. He also learns about even darker secrets. What a great start to a mystery. This book is very well written and I would like to read the entire book. Conor learns that this town is a mixture of Christian tradition, Celtic myth and Native American folklore. This makes me want to read the book even more since I want to learn if Conor becomes a warrior of Light or he becomes a harbinger of Darkness. The book includes past legends that mix with current times. Very good review. I am adding Roan: The Tales of Conor Archer to my to-read shelf.

It has been quite awhile since I have read anything considered "Dark Fantasy". I am looking forward to seeing what Barr does with the genre. Great review
