If you follow me on other platforms you know I have been raving about The Gael Song Trilogy.

But what makes it so special? Let me tell you.

First thing is we are set in true 10th century Ireland and a lot of the key characters in this story are real people who existed. (Do not look up anything about these people till after you finish.) So we have the setting, the plot is also rooted in some historical truths as well. But then, lets go ahead and throw in some Irish mythology of the Tuatha Dé Danann and the Fomorians. They are magical immortals who have been at odds with each other and have been warring with each other.

Shauna Lawless expertly takes this story and weaves in all of the fantasy elements to seamlessly connect it all together.

Now, lets talk the characters. Most of our POVs come from two characters, Gormflaith, a fomorian, and Fodla, a Tuatha De Danann. Both of these characters are opposite of each other but offer two perspectives of what strength looks like in women.

For me, I could not put these books down. I constantly wanted to know what was going to happen next and all of the politicking and scheming, the tiny subplot of romance, and the emotional attachment to these characters had me up late at night reading.

These series is severely underrated and it is one of my favorite series I've read! I get to interview and talk with Shauna Lawless this weekend and I cant wait to ask her all about her current and future books!
