Rendition To Books The Witches of Eileanan (The Witches of Eileanan #1)
In the Celtic land of Eileanan, witches and magic have been outlawed, and those caught for practicing witchcraft are put to death! It is a land ruled by an evil Queen, where sea-dwelling Fairgean stir, and children vanish in the night. But in a valley deep in the mountains, young Isabeau grows to womanhood under the guidance of an elderly witch, and must set out on a quest, carrying the last hopes of the persecuted witches.Rating Out Of Books The Witches of Eileanan (The Witches of Eileanan #1)

A nice book. Somewhat har to read for a non native English speaker. Some bits are glossed over in a way that bothered me and some bits could have been clarified in a better way. But that's really minor bits. It was an okay read, it could have been easier.Review originally posted on The Oaken Bookcase on July 9, 2012 as part of the Discover Australian Fantasy feature.Written in the grand tradition of Epic Fantasy, Dragonclaw is the first in Kate Forsyths series about the Witches of Eileanan.Witchcraft has been outlawed for sixteen years now, and the new Queen, or Banrigh, has decreed that all magical creatures be killed or captured. Many of the original Coven of Witches died at the time of the Day of Reckoning but there are a few remaining,
The storytelling of this high fantasy novel is first class. A spectacular debut novel from this poet turned author (who this month published her 25th novel!).Dragon Claw introduces us to the world of Eileanan, Megan of the Beasts and her apprentice Isabeau, and to the havoc caused by Maya The Ensourcellor.If you loved Lord of the Rings, but wished there were more strong female characters, this is a book for you.History buffs will revel in the medieval politics of the series and wish that humans,
An excellent start to a six part series, this first episode had me enthralled all the way through as apprentice witch Isabeau and her ancient mentor Meghan start on their quest to restore magic to the land of Eileanan and depose the wicked queen who has enthralled their ruler.Kate Forsyth has created a wonderful, fully realised fantasy world of magic creatures, fabulous dragons and evil enemies. With such a solid basis, the rest of the series promises to be excellent.
Really looking forward to rereading this baby soon. Although it is no longer my 'favorite ever book' it's still a favorite & will also hold a very very special place in my heart forever. The only bad thing about this series is the dialogue but when you get used to it, you are seriously in for a special treat <3
I had read Kate Forsyth's novels a while ago. I discovered Rhiannon's Ride years ago. I wanted to read fantasy and thought longingly of those books... and remembered that she had written a series that I should have technically read before Rhiannon's Ride. The Witches of Eileanan is an amazing coming of age story. I could not get enough of all the magical elements this book contained, and Kate Forsyth's story-telling is unreal. I loved the Celtic language that was infused within this book. I'm
First book of a series of 6 it's been left dangling and many 'threads are being woven' not to mention many protagonists still being introduced which I feel is the nature of fantasy books. Looking forward to the second part of my journey in Eileanan when my copy of the book arrives but for now I will get on with another book. 3 and 1/2 stars.
