Comments: Exciting, adventurous and mysterious. There are lots of twists and turns in the plot. It is set in Ireland, so there is lots of history and legend mixed into the story. The heroines are female and there are lots of lessons to be learned about friendship, never giving up, making peace instead of war, and doing what is right, even when you don't want to. The only drawback is that the Irish names and phrases can be difficult to read.
Genre: Fantasy
