this was a unique read, the characters are great and I really enjoyed the story that was going on. I look forward to more from the author.

This was a tale based on the idea of sags of yore of Irish gentry & their quests & battles. The main character retains the claim of cluelessness of women not unlike Boru to cover himself from blame. It was entertaining & a nice read

I was given a free copy of Leprechaun Wars by Wes Snowden, the author, Corvent Creative, and Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Leprechaun Wars is the first by Mr. Snowden that I have read. I think I would characterize this novel as epic fantasy with having an Irish Folklore focus.

This review will not contain any spoilers.

Mr. Snowden did commendable job in the world-building and creating the setting. I really liked the way wove bits of Irish Folklore into the story. It was fascinating to read about the logistics of how a leprechaun operates in the leprechaun world as well as the world of people. I enjoyed reading about the side characters and would have preferred if they were featured a bit more in the story.

What I did not like about Leprechaun Wars was the character arc of the main character. It seemed things were happening to the main character and not the character instigating events through making choices or decisions. I was more interested in reading about the war aspect of the story and less of the adventures of the main character in the world of people.

I thought another thing about this novel was the story was not complex. It seemed like the main character did not have to struggle to overcome any of the obstacles after the death of his father in the beginning of the story. If the main character had to take care of villain, he had no problems taking care of business. It was not the main character had special skills or traits, but more like a victim (for lack of better word) of circumstances.

The prose is clean and does not appear to have any grammatical or spelling errors.

I will rate this novel 3 stars.

I would like to thank Wes Snowden, Corvent Creative, and Net Galley for the free ARC.

The book is an interesting tale of two worlds living side by side. I enjoyed Snowden's tale and look forward to next book by him. I liked the plot and felt the characters were well developed.

OMG, does this book pull you in. I enjoyed the characters development and the entire story.
I was in a bit of a slump, and couldn't really read anything, but after starting this, I couldn't stop-and now I have a book hangover.
the ending alludes to a sequel and I love that in this case.
it is my first book from this author but boy, do I want to read more from now on.
I would say give it a try even if it may not be in your typical reading genres
