I (like many others I'm sure) have always been fascinated by the stories of the Tuatha Dé Danann and all the speculation as to who they were and where they "vanished" to.Īlso the Bard character in history and myth is a terribly interesting one. The look here at the history of the "Irish people" does draw me in somewhat. I"d say, read it for what it is and enjoy. She has reworked the myths and folklore of Ireland, the Celts and the Druids to fit her stories, but she is far from the first person to do so. Llywelyn is an accomplished story teller and she can paint a picture of the mythical Ireland in which her characters move and breath that will place you in the story. It wouldn't do to criticize this work (or any of her works) for any historical inaccuracies as her "novels" are largely fantasy not historical fiction. (As I've said before I don't particularly enjoy romance for romance's sake). I have read several of her books and I mostly enjoy them. Llywelyn obviously loves the Irish (or at least her idea of the Irish). ![]()
