And so on.Īnother thing that I liked about the book is the tension. At one moment you find yourself on a sinking ship, next moment you enjoy bellydancers in Morocco, then you meet witches in the desert, then you admire the first snow on the rooftops of Dublin. One can truly say that the author knows how to create a great atmosphere. I have never loved action scenes that much, but I love travelling and love to read about all the real and fantastic places where the author takes me. He brings us details but makes sure at the same time that we always know where we are and what’s happening. Sheehan describes the epic battles in a way that you feel you’re part of it, fighting for your life. If you enjoy action scenes, then the book is perfect for you. Fights with monsters and demons keep you occupied for hours. Motivated by money to buy off his land and the wish to restore the ancient kingdom, he dives headfirst into the adventures. Donn, the main character, is soon joining Irish knights. Just like in all good stories, the characters are not meant to stay together very long. Set in 19th century rural Ireland, the author does a magnificent job describing the green pastures, running cattle and two young people meeting in a windswept island. Jim Sheehan’s “The Rock of Achill” is a captivating read for anyone who loves history, epic adventures, fantasy and a good steamy romance.
