The Children of Gods and Fighting Men by Shauna Lawless
4.0
Very strong debut from Shauna Lawless.
I loved the blend of history and mythology in the backdrop of 10th Century Ireland. Recognising the place names and people was very rewarding, and it scratched those long hidden memories of primary school history lessons.
The two POV characters were compelling and I find myself rooting for both of the opposing sides, although maybe I'm rooting for Fódla a little more haha. The sequel to this has now become one of my next anticipated books!
