The Children of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless
5.0
A beautiful merging of history and myth!
Shauna Lawless has shared her Ireland in such a way that not only was I learning the history but also the culture.
We follow two women of opposing magics while they weave through the lives of the mortals.
Gormflaith is one of the last of the Fomorian, an un-aging people with fire magic. She is ambitious and ruthless, her goal is to see her mortal son a King and to bring the fall of the Tuatha Dé Danann, enemy of her people.
Fódla is a healer of the Tuatha Dé Danann, a supernatural race of Irish myth. She is fearful, meek, subservient to her leader Tomas, and is in mourning of her mortal daughter Aoife. She is sent to spy on King Brian of Munster which she only agrees to in order to help her sister.
I loved seeing Irish history through the eyes of these very different characters. Cannot wait for book two!!
