This gorgeously-written Irish-influenced fantasy was a perfect October read, with its growing sense of fear and foreboding. Under the Bloodmoon, the land of Balilean is plagued by bitter water and a growing poison in the earth… and in the hearts of its people. Idris, Bard of Blackthorn, seeks the Sacred Word and a hope for the future of the land. This is definitely slow-paced, but it‘s also beautiful and sad and hopeful and I loved it.

I am reminded of the solstice, of the light, the force, that stopped my descent into darkness. That light is older than Death. I know it without knowing how. And Death will not outlast it. Of that, too, I am sure. I take comfort. I carry that light within me. I wear it like a garment.
