Fionn: Defence of Ráth Bládhma

This wasn't what I was expecting, in that the titular Fionn is barely in it - he's born, but as a newborn he plays a very small role in the defence of Rath Bladma.

What it was, though, was a simple, gritty story with small amounts of the fantastic and an engaging tale about a group of unlikely warriors as they attempt to fight off a band of murderous warriors.

O'Sullivan is a very engaging author - the stakes in this story would otherwise be small, but he makes them large through interesting characters and the looming legend of the baby born among them.
