I was really excited for this when I saw it was a modern retelling of the story of Emer and Cu Chulainn. But it’s not, really. Cu Chulainn gets written out of the story pretty early so now the book is just about Emer going through her life. It was still written engagingly but I got fed up with the right wing leanings of the novel. After a whole chapter that was basically two characters complaining about how obnoxious PC culture is, with the examples being straw man caricatures, I gave up. Maybe I’m being unfair but I’m just really not feeling this book.
