ISLE OF DESTINY

Rating:
Summary: Worth reading but if you want the best read Morgan Llywelyn
Review: I would call ISLE OF DESTINY a work of historical fiction more than fantasy, although there are fantastic elements to the plot. But the "historical" part of this book seems contrary to much of what is considered accepted Celtic mythology. Flint gives well-known Celtic characters such as Sentanta (Cuchulain), Meave, Conor MacNessa, and Fergus MacRoy drastically different roles than do most of the ancient Celtic tales. These characterizations are in stark contrast to those of scholarly research or even of an author like Morgan Llewelyn, the widely acclaimed Queen of the Celtic historical/fantasy novel. This book is worth reading for a different perspective, but there are much better tellings of this same tale to be found elsewhere (especially Ms. Llywelyn's works).

Summary: Must Read !!
Review: The story is awesome. It is a fast-paced work of fantasy/fiction that keeps you wanting more when it is finished. This is the first book that I read by this author and I highly recommend it to all age groups.
