This book was a VERY good example of the genre. I wouldn't quite call this YA, but it was an easy read with no in-your-face violence. Those who enjoy reading the classic story of a mortal boy suddenly transported to the Celtic Otherworld (by any name - here it's called Tir Na N'Og) and his adventures therein will enjoy this one.

The characters are well-drawn and believeable (and very human, even when they aren't human). The premise is a classic - a prophecy that everyone takes at face value leads to strife, and is fulfilled in an unexpected way. The Other World is portrayed in a very interesting manner. Its fate is directly linked to the character of the rulers - the device of how land and ruler are linked is original, and very well done (and thought-provoking, even here in the 'Real World'). There's plenty of humor in the interactions of Real World and Other World. The main character starts out as a brash teenager, unhappy that he's missing a movie date with his new girlfriend, but quickly grows and matures (though always remaining a thoroughly modern teenager!).

Highly recommended. I'm looking forward to reading the 2nd book of the series. This is well worth the price. 4 1/2 stars.

Note on Kindle formatting: Excellent. I did not notice any issues at all.

(ETA 8/1/11 - Rephrased review to indicate that book was now available in the US - it had been pulled when I originally wrote the review.)

4,0 su 5 stelle Fast paced, looking forward to reading sequel

When I bought Shadowmagic ($0.99 as I write this review), by John Lenahan, in October '09, I paid $3.40 and considered it a good bargain. At the current sale prices, you should grab this one, fast.

When I saw the sequel was out, I pulled out the first volume and read it thru in just three days (in between doing everything else). The paper edition says it is 288 pages, but they go by in a flash (unlike Lord of the Rings, which the synopsis compares it to). This is young adult fiction, but is entirely enjoyable by adults of any age; there is budding romance (but barely a kiss or two) and the story is told from the point of view of a teenage boy, who is getting ready to go to school, trying to find a good time to ask his dad for a bit more cash to take out a girl, when he answers the door ... only to have people on horseback try to kill him, a weird glow surround him and one of the attackers crumble to dust upon being unhorsed. His day only gets worse, but he quickly adapts to his new surroundings, after breaking free of his captors and finding himself not in the Real World, at all.

The action isn't non-stop (really, could anyone stand to read 200+ pages that were?), as, in addition to a bit of adventure, you get his reaction to the new land, descriptions of what he sees and finds and experiences, as he makes his way. Along that way, he first reacts without thinking, but gradually changes to reaction with forethought (well, as much as a teen can muster, at any rate), growing at least metaphorically during journey. As with most good teen fiction, good triumphs over evil, in the end (at least for the day), but there is also tragedy to provide a bittersweet tinge to the joy of the day.

At the end, you can see the hooks for a sequel are set, but the volume concludes well on it's own (no big cliffhangers to frustrate you if you do decide not to get the second title). For myself, though, I've put the sequel near the top of my TBR list.

4,0 su 5 stelle A very good read

The voice in this book is exceptional. Conner is a believable teenage boy and you get to know his character well from the start. You are thrown into the fantastical world (The Land) very quickly and the plot is reasonably fast paced throughout. The book can be quite complex at times, and one must understand the different features about The Land and its history. But, it is usually explained well so the complexity doesn't hinder reading too much. However, most of the history and understanding of the land is explained through dialogue from The Land's creatures/characters. As much as this is fine the majority of the time, it sometimes feels like we are given a bit of a lecture/history lesson. I would have liked the history to be more creatively written in rather than us being given information through "telling" dialogue.
The only minor issue I have with the novel is description of The Land. I feel that more could be described about the appearance of different creatures in the book. Although, the author does leave a fair bit to the imagination, my mind immediately relates some of the creatures and lands to Lord of the Rings. I believe that is why it is tied to Lord of the Rings; apart from that I couldn't see much of a relation.
Conner also seems to be more of a tag along than a strong willed protagonist, but I do enjoy the relationships that he builds with other characters. So if you are looking for a great example of leadership, then this protagonist isn't for you.
There is also a fair amount of light humour that goes down well. Conner is pretty sarcastic so if you don't like that personality trait then you might not enjoy it as much. But, I love that kind of humour so I really liked the character.
Overall, I enjoyed the book and it was a great light read. I think it would go down well with young people, especially with the humour and Conner's voice.

This is an interesting story about an average young man, who has a disabled (though not really when you see what he can do) widower for a father, who finds out very early on that everything is not what it seems. He is not the average boy from Scranton, a senior graduating high school; he is a prince in a mythical land full of faeries, leprachans, imps, banshees, and magic. It's a great story to read to a child, for a young reader, or for any other avid reader who likes a good yarn.

I started this book listening to it as a podcast, as something to listen to while I commute to and from work. This podcast is one that is very entertaining and makes you want to listen though till the end just to see what happens. Though I loved listening to the author read his story, I was certain that reading it and letting my own imagination take over was the way to go, so I purchased the eBook for my Kindle.

I can't wait for The Price of Hazel & Oak, book 2, and hopefully that will come to Kindle as well.
