Dethalissicus is a book that takes you and transports you to a world about magic and wonder, with battles and slavery, with love and hope, sorrow and doubt. Dethalissicus is a book that starts with a hook and takes you along for a ride. It starts with Dethalissicus, Deth, in the town she grew up in right before she is captured by pirates and made a slave. The pirates try and sell her and the rest of their captives in Eire, and they are successful with everyone but her. The captain of the pirates treats her well but then there is mutiny on the ship, and she is left to the whims of pirates who loathe her. She is abused through out the story but remains strong. At no time throughout the book does she have an easy time of it and as soon as you think things are going her way, the author takes a turn and you end up somewhere else. This book is full of twists and turns and kept me wondering what was going to happen next up to the very end. Overall I think this book is a very entertaining read that leaves you hoping there is another book to come. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys reading historical fiction or about the Tuatha de Dannan or the mythical races that are said to have inhabited Eire.
