Holder of Lightning
Holder of Lightning: The Cloudmages #1 | S. L. Farrell
2 posts | 5 read | 4 to read
It had been so many generations since the mage-lights were last seen that they'd become the stuff of legend. But for seventeen-year-old Jenna Aoire legend became reality one night on Knobtop Hill when she found the stone--not much more than a large pebble yet there was something about it that drew her. And then the mage-lights filled the sky, bringing trouble and magic with them that would irrevocably alter Jenna's life.

Definitely not continuing with this series. None of the characters are likable. Jenna, the MC, is probably one of the most unlikeable by far. I was extremely disappointed in the lack of strong character relationships, especially when the story sets up a strong mother-daughter bond at the very beginning only to do nothing with it. Everything just happens, because. There never seemed to be an actual story being told. I didn‘t care if ⬇️

MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm characters died so there was zero tension in battle scenes. Jenna pulls plot devices out like she has an endless supply. Some of the bits pertaining to Celtic lore were intriguing and so it gets the extra .5 rating. This was my #DoubleSpin for January. 3y
TheAromaofBooks At least it's off the list - and so is the rest of the series!!! 3y

Enjoyed this Celtic fantasy book along with a new favorite snack (which I may have purchased based on the name 😉).
