Editorial Reviews
Cassie May rated it 5 out of 5 "it was amazing"

Wow. Just wow. This book is awesome! Like, it kidnaps you in a world full of darkness, blood and war and yet you don't want to leave. It starts innocently and you think, oh my, this Cedric guy is a real douchebag, but then, slowly so slowly, you come to realize that there's a reason for his douchebaggery and this reason breaks your heart. I cried for him. So much. His despair, it was... Like not from this world. The punishments he took upon him were awful and too much for one person to carry. He was one of those heroes you get to know like an onion: Layer after layer while crying more and more with each layer. I was astonished at how hard he worked to redeem himself and I wanted so much for him to get his Happily Ever After. I didn't think it would be possible, not after everything he told the bartender and then the thing with the finger. It was so sad. His heartbreak was so real for me. I shed so many tears. And I am still not completely over this book.
This book is for you, if you are interested in folklore, old tales, magic, darkness and historical stuff as well as heartbreak and redemption. Shortly said: This book contains something for everyone. I loved everything that was mentioned in the book. The different creatures, the goddesses and gods, the feelings these things had even though they shouldn't be able to feel anything (this is for you, Morrighan!) and, of course, the conclusion. I really liked how Merlin was portrayed, since most books paint him in a rather positive light and I really enjoyed him getting the darkness this time.
I give 4.5 wonderfully deserved stars for this book, because I would have liked the end to be a bit slower, but this is just my personal preference. I really really enjoyed reading this book and am looking forward to reading more about all the creatures in further books.
