Reviews
“This tale of modern troubled youth meets old myths and legends was masterfully woven.”
“This is a fascinating study in character development. Liam’s personal journey is portrayed in a way which is real and never descends into being cloying or maudlin.”
“The strong character of Liam’s blind cousin June is so much more than a tokenistic or sentimental disabled character, and the moment where Liam describes empathy for June as she is upset after a nightmare will stay with me for a long time.”
“The interweaving of mythical figures gives the story extra depth and excitement. This is a very distinctive work.”
“I was surprised how much I liked and related to this book. I’m female and not a young adult nor a motorcycle rider but for some reason I raced through this book with huge enjoyment. The main character Liam is interesting and his personality gruff but somehow likeable–the more I read the more wrapped up I became in his evolution and emotional development. When he and his cousin June get together and discover they are more than they had ever dreamt of being, I couldn’t wait to see how it was all going to work out.“
“The countryside in the area was like a character itself, I really want to see it in person now. The story was very well written, and had some very surprising twists and turns. I’m hoping there’s a sequel.”
