Yep, I binged this. Absolutely excellent and Shauna Lawless is extremely talented at what she does. Was completely sucked in.

This story was truly all about the family dramas.

Gormflaith and her plotting about how her family are going to achieve her aims and wishes, a Queen and matriarch of both her family and attempting to be of the whole of Ireland really ramps up in this book. I did have a laugh at how typically things never go to plan with her male relatives not listening to her.

The tone switches between the evil plotting Formorian point of view of to the more innocent and good seeming point point of view from Fodla and the Descendants is done really well and how the scene has been set for the next generation and book really made me excited to see where the drama is going to go in future stories though I had no idea how this one was going to end.

Such a well written and engaging story of a historical fantasy fiction, I have pre-ordered a special edition hardback from The Broken Binding to match my others in the series.
Thank you to the publisher Head of Zeus for an early gifted ebook of this on NetGalley.

I must admit the Gael Song series are probably some of the best historical fantasy books which I have had the pleasure of reading. I was looking forward to this instalment so much.

It did not disappoint, the amazing world that Shauna Lawless has created pulls you straight to where The Words of Kings and Prophets left off.

The two leading ladies Fódla & Gormflaith continue to shine through but the additional points of view from other characters such as Murchad & Colmon are a brilliant addition to the story. These allowed me to really feel the story.

This series has everything a fan of historical fantasy fiction could want, brilliant villains, a great story and a powerful ending.

5 stars and I cannot wait to see what Lawless does next in the amazing world she has created.

I was very excited to receive this arc having read the other books in this series and very much enjoying them
Like the previous works this was very well written and informative. If you are interested in Irish mythology with political intrigue this series may be for you.
This is very slow paced with not much action and focuses more on the history and mythology which I like but may not be for everyone.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this trilogy and hope to read more from this author

Thanks to NetGalley for the arc
