Tyger Tyger

Kersten Hamilton retells the mysteries of Celtic mythology and brings a fantasy tale to life with the help of Celtic hero Fionn mac Cumhaill.

Tyger Tyger was a fantastical read and throughly enjoyable. An amazing start to an amazing new series.

One the many reasons this book made such an increadibe read was because of his main character: Finn. Mysterious and sexy Finn shows up to his cousin's house and with his arrival strange things start happening, not mentioning the weird shadows of legendary creatures. And Teagan's character and obvious initial attachement to Finn is unresistable, that coupled with a bunch of other characters mainly a cute younger brother and a sassy grandmother makes the perfect recipie to add to your to-read list.

My only complain is I wished I had seen more from Abby it was perfectly understandable why she couldn't join them but I await anxiously for it's sequel and a glimpse more of her.

Overall, Tyger Tyger is extremely reccomendable, no strong scenes, but healthy reading for kids.

What I loved most about this story was the way each character is so clearly different from one another. This is the type of cast that, even without reading the "Teagan said," portions at the end of each line, you know exactly who is speaking. Finn's charismatic and yet strong personality, Teagan's loving and resourceful personality, Aiden's sweet and innocent personality. Each one is so distinct, so real, that you can believe in these characters rather easily. Kersten has managed a trifecta of perfectly written characters. A trio of amazing! This book is so utterly different from so many other novels I have read in this genre, it's better. Better by far.

The world that is built for the reader in this story is truly beautiful. You will be drawn in by the descriptions of the notorious sidhe, appalled by their actions and yet equally intrigued. Descriptions of Fear Doirich and his evil deeds sent shivers down my spine. After reading this book I can guarantee that you will find yourself searching for more Celtic Mythology. It will awaken a need. Kersten has done such a stellar job of drawing the reader in! The world of Mag Mell was written so perfectly that I found myself dreaming about it when I slept. It isn't often that a fictional world finds its way into my dreams, I was thoroughly impressed.

If you're looking for romance, you will find that here too! Finn and Teagan have this deliciously tense relationship that keeps you on your toes. From the first moment they meet, there is this spark between them that refuses to let go. It was refreshing to see a "love" that wasn't instantly perfect. Does anyone believe in an instantly perfect love? A love that takes effort, compromise, and time? That is a love that I can be invested in!

Tyger, Tyger is akin to all my favorite stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales. Underneath the humor and love, is a darker portion of the novel. A cautionary portion if you will. Warning us that seeing, is not always believing.
