Wow, you have given us a super exquisite review. You have taken us deep into the mysteries of the storyline and showed us that we need to read it.

Finding a story that balances science fiction and fantasy is often a challenge owing to their antagonistic nature between the two. But it's intriguing to see how the story plot plays out. Congrats on being BOTD.

I'm not interested in Celtic mythology, so I'm going to check if I'll enjoy reading the sample. However, I love coming-of-age stories about characters who seek to find out their real identity. As someone who likes a fast-paced story, I hope this book will be entertaining for me to learn something new about the common themes on urban fantasy. Congratulations on the BOTD.

I didn't really flow with the storyline because I'm not an avid lover of urban fantasy books. However, lovers of such genres will find it intriguing. Congratulations on being the BOTD.

Fantasy novels are not my preferred genre. I try to avoid novels that have anything to do with magic. However according to the review it is an excellent book, indicating that it must be fantastic for people who enjoy a good fantasy novel!

Post by Joy C »

This tale is a coming of age story of a boy who has to choose between finding and following his own way, or evolving into a destiny prophesied millennia before. I'm enthralled by the plot and writing style and would love to read this. Besides, having read such a beautiful piece of a review, I can't but imagine what the book would be like. Thanks for your awesome review.
Begin always with the end in mind. :techie-studyingbrown:

The review is explanatory and very informative to the current generation that is focused on digital world. The use of mythology and legends brings curiosity to Conor in his new village home. He realises that urban life is different from the rural life where people are evil, greedy and inhuman. He tries to understand his position as the warrior of light to the people but has to face challenges like Cate the towns outcast. These challenges make him to fight on. In addition the author brings the fantasy world through prince Madoc and the water beast and blends them to the human world. It's a read for me
