Left me feeling empty!

I have never left a review before but feel it is my duty as an avid reader and listener to share. This book.... wow. This book. It was horrifying, funny, disgusting, sad, surprising..... there are just no words to describe the experience it gave. If you are a listener, a true listener of horror and dystopia, get this book! The premise of this book is one that I think about daily. Years after my first listen. It will chill your blood and prick your heart and get you thinking at the same time.

Irish lore and culture comes through strong.

This book was lovely. The writing style was a little different, but enjoyable. The characters were memorable and the story intriguing. The reading was done with Irish accents that really helped drop you right into the story. I definitely recommend it.

Amazing...Even the second time through

The narration is phenomenal, with a variety of Irish accents and more. The narrators’s own lilting voice is really a treat.
Yes, it is a dark story, but beautifully imagined and executed. The smattering of Celtic lore and Irish history only adds further depth.
Seriously, don’t start unless you have time to binge.

A year later, listened again after giving up on another book and desperately needing something to get through a road trip. It is still amazing. I love the pacing; other reviews claim there is no character development and it feels jumbled. Strongly disagree. I think it is just more elegantly and efficiently handled than in so many other fantasy books these days. Third person unlimited might just be too much for some brains to handle.

Brilliant storytelling

Nearly perfect, there were a few small hiccups in the performance near the end, but overall, the story and performance were outstanding.

Wonderful and Eerie!

I love it!
Very creative with memorable characters brought to life by a very talented narrator.
