This book sounds very intriguing since it combines christianity, celtic, and other beliefs. I would be interested to see how they are combined since the traditional beliefs of each are so different. I also noticed that this author likes to begin sentences with verbs. Reading this cpuld be inspiring.

I love that you enthusiastically "played your hand too quickly." Your passion for this book makes me want to read it while fully expecting to enjoy it. Your list of comparable authors also helps as I hadn't previously heard of this author. Thanks for the review!

I never say no to magic and mysticism; and i can't say no to this book either. Decisions and choices must have been hard for the boy whose fate was spoken thousands of years before he was born. The essence of good and evil, sounds interesting.

Not my normal read but I can see how it could be interesting. I do like stories with the supernatural in it. This one is the character has to accept his place and be apart of good or refuse and be apart of evil. So that struggle can be good. Makes me wonder what he chose. Not sure if I will try it, but congratulations on BOTD.

It will be interesting to read this coming of age novel as Roan tries to discover his destiny amid of what was said about him years ago. Nice review.

There seem to be a lot of great reviews on this book, giving it the highest rating possible with four out of four stars. I rarely find books that I'm willing to give that high of a rating to--because if I find any errors, I can't give the top rating no matter how much I like the book. But it would be interesting to see if I would be able to give this book the highest rating as well.

Roan by E. R. Barr is a fantasy novel. I used to read this kind of urban fantasies when I was a teenager. So, there was a lot of memory. Congratulations on #botd.

While I've read my share of fantasy, urban fantasy is not something I've ever encountered. Sounds very interesting.

Believe you me. E. R. Barr may be Roan himself. A fantastic story. One of the best reviews I have read in a long time. Congratulations.
