Reviews
<p><span style="font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:small;background-color:rgb(255,255,255);">Delaney Rhodes’ “Celtic Storms” is a fantasy book set in the fifteenth century that is sure to delight any reader who enjoys mystical stories with dynamic characters and a fast-paced plot and romance. The story follows Irish Celtic families that must struggle to survive in a land filled with magic. The two main families are the O’Malleys and the MacCahans. One of the things I love about the book is that Rhodes writes well-developed, strong female characters. Surprisingly, one of my favorite characters is Odetta Burke, the villain of the story. Although I don’t agree with her goals, I can’t help but admire her drive and desire to reach her goals. Marriage, love, and family politics play a large role in this book, adding another layer to the magic-laden story. The book had me engaged from the first page, and the twists and turns of the plot kept me reading eagerly to the end. Recommended! </span></p>
