”I enjoyed reading this book and learned a lot about the towns the author refers to. Interestingly enough, these towns are where my own family is from. The blend of historical facts and mythology makes it a very interesting read! What a treasure!” Reader review.

“The meat of this book is the mythology, and it’s couched in the plot, so it’s not just a dry recounting of stories. There’s a goal to these ancient character and how they relate to the book. I believe it’s somewhat autobiographical, and I’d be curious to know the author and get her real story. I hope this book is not the last by the author. I’d be interested in checking out another one.” Reader review.
