⭑⭑⭑⭑ The Children of Gods and Fighting Men is a heady mix of real medieval Irish mythology and magical fantasy. I have spent a great deal of time recently immersed in ancient history of this period so this novel slotted in well with my current reading trends. I enjoyed the complexity of the story as the reader bounces back and forth between two warring factions each with their own magical ability and the need to safeguard that knowledge from the other and mankind. Men, Vikings especially, pose quite a risk to each and though they sometimes live among them, it can come at a high price.
This novel is so easy to sink into. The world building and character development brings the age to life. I am always pleased to enjoy the first of a trilogy and this is no exception. There is much more story left for the follow on books.
