Thank you for your very compelling review. The book sounds like an impressive first novel with well-developed world-building and an original mix of Christian tradition, Native American Folklore. I like urban fantasy as a sub-genre; it requires building both an imaginative fantasy world and creating a gritty, real-world, urban setting.

The story sounds so interesting and as a fantasy lover, I’d love to read it one day. The fact that dark fantasy has so many well-known authors this book will be compared to isn't going to make this story any less interesting or unique.

This book sounds interesting and the urban fantasy genre is a unique and offbeat theme for a book. The review was well written and extremely detailed. Keep it up and thanks for the review.

I've read excellent fantasy as well as bad fiction. This is a genre I like reading since I feel it contains both the finest and worst storytellers. But this book seems fantastic, and I'm extremely excited to read it.

"Roan: The Tales Of Conor Archer" by E. R. Barr. An interesting epic story, talks about Conor Archer having interest in his ancestral heritage. It's left for Conor Archer to know which way to follow, his evil ancestral heritage or his way to Christian Doom. Congrats on BOTD.

Wow, this review is the best one I have read here! You are not only a keen observer but a good writer yourself!
On the other hand, urban fantasy is not my cup of tea, although the novel had an interesting, fast-paced introduction and weird characters. I admit I enjoyed the sample.

Christian tradition, Celtic myth, and Native American folklore would be an interesting read and understanding. That and the mystery in the book makes it a must read

This urban fantasy fiction novel has all the literary elements to make it simply a great read. The author's unique writing style is enticing and adds to the storytelling. My favorite part of this coming of age story is that you get to experience and empathize with the main character, Conor. Congrats on the BOTD!

Wow! You've written an excellent review! Now I'm definitely going to check it out. Fantasy is one of my top favourite genres, and the fact that the book is compared to the works of Cassandra Clare and Holly Black makes me even more curious about it.

Magic and mysticism are part of what gives me a thought-provoking basis when reading a novel. I think I can enjoy this one. Thanks for this excellent review.
