"The narrative style is so beautiful that it draws the reader to the plot instantly. The Sons of Mil, The Southernmost Star, and The Children of Danu each and every book under the series is just fantastic to read. The characters are human and have grey areas. I loved the psychological explorations of their feelings so so much. The battle scenes from the very first page are engrossing and detailed to immerse any fantasy fan quickly. The historical context is rich enough to set mood. The main characters like Ben, Una are very relatable to give the story an extra edge. With stellar dialogues and witts the female characters are just amazing to see."

"This book is for all women, girls, sisters, mothers, wives, grandmothers, and girlfriends, who have asked, “What about me?” It explores the roles females play not only within society but within family dynamics—the negotiations, compromises, and sacrifices. It investigates the sometime tenuous relationships between sisters who both adore and abhor each other. It addresses the guilt and regret that can follow for the audacity to assert herself, for the hubris to insist it is her turn. At the same time, we get to meet some amazing characters who demonstrate the kind of selfless love for others I wish we had more of in this world."

“With all the horror of a Greek tragedy, we watch as her every effort to improve her life instead drives her closer to her fate. Dierdre's voice is one of a friend, and as her confidant, we feel her isolation, empathize with her desires, and cannot help but hope for a happy ending--but Riviere is too great a storyteller to let us off too easy."
