“Do you love faeries and Druids, warriors and goddesses, mad kings and Celtic fantasy? Then this first fantasy from Tompkins, Texas born but of Irish descent, could well be for you… Lots of power plays here, and the struggle to rid Ireland of magic has repercussions lasting until today.” –The Library Journal
“The Last Days of Magic reminds me why I started to read fantasy. Read it and get lost in the green woods of Eire and in the mist of legends that still permeate Irish hills.” -Libretto Reviews
“IT REALLY IS BREATHTAKING”
“So beautifully written, it transports you to a different time and a different world, it really is breathtaking!”
-Book Savvy Reviews
“PERFECT FOR READERS OF BOTH FANTASY AND HISTORICAL FICTION”
“Blending together Celtic mythology, biblical lore, and 14th-century history, The Last Days of Magic, it’s a richly imagined world that’s perfect for readers of both fantasy and historical fiction.” -Readaholic Zone
“COULD IT BE CALLED SHAKESPEAREAN”
“…The more acclaim for the accomplishment of this novel, the better. Could it be called Shakespearean, although it pre-dates him and has Chaucer as a character?” -J.A.’s Reviews
“PERFECT BLEND OF HISTORY AND FANTASY”
“What makes this book great is the perfect blend of history and fantasy…. I also really enjoyed the way Tompkins displayed all characters on the various sides of the conflict in shades of grey. It created a neutral historical narrative that painted Ireland as the protagonists and victims, but didn’t make England, France, and the Catholic church seem like baby eating monsters (with one or two exceptions).” -The Quill to Live
“THIS IS BRILLIANT”
“This is an extraordinary complex novel blending the mythology of the Ancient Faerie Faith, Jewish Mysticism, Witches and Jinn and ordinary humans in the guise of pirates, priests Queens & slaves; all set in the historical events of the Reformation. Herein lies the story of the survival of magic – despite all of the factions of “Humans” fighting for existence. This is brilliant!” -Northshire Bookstore, Staff Pick
“A MUST READ”
“Once I started reading it, I could not stop. Considering all the various characters, locations, and plots it was easy to follow (sometimes, in Game of Thrones I would be lost). All the different stories wove together to create a rich tapestry of Ireland and a time gone by. Recommendation: For fans of magical, royal, epic stories, this will be a MUST READ!!!” -Pondering The Prose
