After reading The Bear and the Nightingale and having already ordered the followups I wanted some more mystical fiction books to read. So when I stumbled upon this book at my bookstore I was immediately interested. Especially since my knowledge of Irish mythology is/was practically non-existent and I wouldn’t dare claim the parts that made it into Marvel comicbooks count. The book itself I ended up being kinda meh on. I think it’s written well while still being more crass and gory than I expected. There also aren’t many happy or fun stories in there which is something I’ve kinda expected since despite the rampant awfulness that exists in probably all mythologies, from the Norse, Roman, and Greek mythologies I remembered some stories that at least had some funny or silly aspects to it. Whereas The Morrigan is mostly a compendium of men being awful. I’m happy I read it and having learned a bit more about Irish mythology. But I wouldn’t recommend it as a happy, entertaining read.
