5.0 out of 5 stars
A delightfully immersive experience.,
By "palin3" (SD, United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hunter of the Light (Paperback)
I recieved this book as a gift from my parents a few years ago and I have to say that at first I was wary of this book. My parents have never had luck finding a book for me that I enjoy. Boy was I proven wrong. This book will take you to a fantasy world unlike any other you've been to before. It does a great job of luring you into the book right away with a tense and exciting scene. It shows you a world that is full of a sense of history, myth, adventure, intrigue, and mystery. The use of Gaelic although cumbersome at first turns out to be a wonderfully unique asset to the novel adding a sense of newness and immersion into a differnt place where you indeed are a stranger. Bottom line I cannot say enough about this book. It's defiently one of my top three favorite books of all time and if you have'nt read it I suggest you find a copy however possible and read it you won't be dissapointed.

Started slow, but then I couldn't put it down!,

This review is from: Hunter of the Light (Paperback)
The first 1/3 to 1/2 of this book was a little bit slow. I think a lot of it was the fact that I had to keep flipping back to the glossary to find out how to pronounce all the Irish words: cities, people, things. This made it difficult. However, after about the first 200-300 pages, I found it very difficult to put down. The character development left a little to be desired, but the overall story was great. A very satisfying ending.

Masterly told tale of love, treachery, and perseverance.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hunter of the Light (Paperback)
Risa Aratyr is a master story teller in every sense of the word. Her tale is set in an ancient Ireland, a land where magic is alive and mythical beings fight along side mortals. Her masterful use of discription makes the reader feel the landscape, not just see it in your mind. If you are a devote of Celtic mythology, this is a book for you. If you are a lover of adventure, this is a book for you. If you enjoy stories of human perserverance, this is a book for you. If you love a good tale, this is really a book for you
