A fiercely independent heroine and a fascinating pantheon of gods [...] Brigit is an admirable protagonist.
Quite simply the best fantasy novel I have read in a long, long time and, quite honestly, an instant classic in the genre.
Sweeping and evocative, Daughters of Nicnevin is lush, earnest, and painfully heartfelt. Every word etches truth in your soul: when it comes to Scottish history tinged with magic, there is no greater authority. Compelling and bone-shakingly real, Kinsella is a beautiful and singular voice.
A compelling, cautionary tale of the desperate and powerless finding arcane magic to defend themselves. The best of intentions can’t save them from unforeseen consequences.
Weaving the language of fae and feminine power into its story of historical turmoil, this is a moving, involving novel about found family, consent, releasing fear, and community grit. [...] Two women combine their innate powers to protect a community in Daughters of Nicnevin, an arresting historical novel with a sapphic twist.
A story of love, community and responsibility that weaves together the heartening and heartbreaking to spellbinding effect.
A superb slice of bygone Scottish life brewed with folklore and witchcraft into a fresh and fantastic read
