"Finn Mac Cool is an interesting man, someone who blends legend with fact until he is also uncertain how much of his colourful history in story is actually true. As a matter of fact, true magic does seem to overlap with the magic he invented. The character had a great deal of appeal and was certainly sympathetic, but the story tended to drag here and there, especially at the end."
"I finally finished this book. It seemed to take me quite awhile to get into it. For me it was somewhat similar to Juliet Marrillier's books, in that is was taking a legend and telling how it could have come about. I knew nothing about the mythical Finn Mac Cool before reading this. I enjoyed this book, and even cried at the end which surprised me."
