However, I would like to add that, in my opinion, the author took extensive creative license with the legendary / mythological material at times. I would say that this is a bit more troubling than the typical book because the author's intent seems to have been to mix fiction with non-fiction (note who there is a whole section at the end of the book with pagan rituals one could perform if one so chooses). The author also makes some errors talking about actual historical figures and events related to the Catholic Church; repeating common misinformation that is not supported by the historical record.
