Tower of Obsidian, by L.T. Getty, is a story of myth and legend, of loyalty and danger, set in 11th century Ireland. Usually in tales such as this one, we read of brave warriors fighting magical, horrid beasts in order to save their damsels in distress. But, the author has switched things up a bit by having the man’s beloved attempting to rescue him, instead.I enjoyed the ending of this story, though reaching that point proved difficult due to the book’s extremely slow start. It wasn’t until I was about halfway through that I found myself interested in the plot and what became of the characters. I understand the need for detail, but there are times when fewer specifics and a little more oomph are appreciated. This would have been one of those times. This, along with a few editorial problems, like the repeating of names and words all within sentences of each other, or a misused/misplaced word here and there, ended up taking my attention away from the story, and had me focused on just getting it finished.
