This review was written for LibraryThing Early Reviewers.
I had been hoping for a paper book, did not realize that this was an e-book. I am a big fan on myths and folklore and this book fits into that category. I enjoyed reading it, and I hope that my Irish niece enjoys it as well. ( )

This review was written by the author.
Hy Brasil is a work of literature with plenty of mystery and suspense thrown in for good measure. It focuses on the subjects of Irish history versus its modern day equivalent and does so with the tools of Gothic fiction and high adventure.
‘I wrote Hy Brasil, Island of Eternity after reading about it in a newspaper article a few years ago’, said Robert. ‘It hit me straightaway Hy Brasil would make a great subject matter to exercise the imagination. I set about jotting down the plot then began tapping it out on the keyboard.’
Hy Brasil has been well received, with a respected reviewer saying:
“Author Robert E. Kearns has created an effortless read that was easy to breeze through and escape into, thanks to his highly vivid descriptions, beautiful narrative voice, and dark, mysterious gothic stylings.” ( )
