Finn McCool: A Faerie Tale for Grown Ups, by Diane Hanks, is a wonderful book, filled with Celtic Lore, modern romance, action and adventure.Seamus is a matchmaking faerie in the Department of Human Wishes. He isn't very good at it, and wishes nothing more than to be a warrior like his father. His most recent assignment is to find true ,love for Kara, an anthropologist/archaeologist, and alas, a non-believer in true love! This may be his most difficult task ever!In the meantime, evil faeries have stolen some of the kingdoms most prized weapons, and without them have gone into hiding. Seamus dreams of recovering these items and of becoming a hero. it seems highly unlikely, but his Queen has promised Seamus that if he is successful in finding true love for Kara, he will get the chance to become the warrior that he has always aspired to be.I really loved this book. It was funny, exciting, and informative as well. I had little prior knowledge of Celtic mythology, and found it fascinating!! I would recommend it for anyone who likes fantasy novels.I received a free copy of this book for review purposes.
