It is amazing to think that Patricia Finney was only 17 when she wrote this.
She obviously knew an awful lot about Ireland at this time - sometimes I found it a bit hard to follow and was glad of the glossary and list of characters at the back.
Enjoyed the story and will read the next one. She hasn't quite hit the heights of her later books well worth reading this one anyway

Decent historical retelling of the Irish myth cycle on the Cattle Raid of Cooley, reminiscent of Rosemary Sutcliff or Gillian Bradshaw; some disturbing undercurrents around the presentation of the (female) villain not offset by any other significant female characters so far.
