Crom Cruach had a lot of potential, but it didn't deliver. I liked the themes in the book: Conflict between the Garda and local paramilitary, heaven and an angel being the main antagonist instead of hell and devils, and Nazis being the surprise villain.
However, I didn't find the prose as "lyrical" as expected, instead I found it somewhat disjointed and lacking rhythm? The diction was like that of a modern novel and didn't read like a folk story at all. I just expected something else, I think.
