4.0 out of 5 stars The Legendary Hound of Culain's (Cuculain's) Story!, March 23, 2005

This review is from: A storm upon Ulster (Paperback)

A thoroughly interesting read that should have been a much shorter read. Although the subject matter here is about the legendary Hound of Culain (Cuculain), the incredible story of this Irish hero would have been a much better and/or more readable one, if it hadn't been such a lengthy one. At times the story dragged but overall was a very good read!

This is the story of Culain (Cuculain), Ireland's & Ulster's greatest hero descended from the Sidhe, Meave, Queen of Connacht, Fergus Macrogh an Exiled Chieftain from Ulster, and Calatin the Queen's evil Druid advisor. It is also a story of all those who were caught in the crossfire between these strong personalities, personally and eventually mortally.

It is definitely worth the read, all of Kenneth C. Flint's (also known as K. C. Flynn/Casey Flynn). This was not the most exciting of all his books I've read to date but I was intrigued by a different perspective of Cuculain and was overall satisfied with this work. I've read Morgan Llywellyn and also enjoyed her tales very much. Read this novel, it will be an adventurous ride in the "mythological" Celtic past.
