    • He tries to leave the man some bandages but the man refuses his help. Now caught up with the present, John asks Morgan if he has encountered a woman carrying a pistol identical to the Old West six shooter John carries. Morgan cannot wait to get away from John, but John insists Morgan stay a while and catch a little sleep in the back of his truck. Morgan reluctantly agrees, but finds himself unable to sleep. He slips away in the middle of the night. Morgan continues his lonely trek until he is knocked out by three men.

    They rifle through his bag, taking all the supplies he has with him. Morgan says they can keep his food if they will leave him his bo staff, but they clearly plan to kill him. Things look dire until the arrival of Althea, or Al, played by Maggie Grace. Maggie drives the pair to an old trailer park, where she reveals her true intentions: John is willing to share his story, telling Al more about Laura.

    Morgan, however, refuses and instead sets out again. John chases after him to wish him well and offer him a clean pair of socks even in the apocalypse, a good pair of socks goes a long way. Al slows their plans down when she pitches her keys off into the distance, while John unwittingly unleashes a large group of walkers from a nearby trailer. In the process, he takes a bullet to the leg but still manages to tackle the gunman, with both men falling through the roof of a trailer. The inside of the trailer is filled with zombies, one of whom was a soldier with grenades attached to his uniform.

    Morgan pulls the pin on a grenade and throws the zombie into the middle of the room before taking shelter in the bathtub. They fight, but John wounds Leland, allowing Al to escape as Leland is set upon by the dead. Al then uses a pair of machine guns mounted in her vehicle to dispatch the remaining zombies. The trio hits the road once again, with Morgan agreeing to share some of his story with Al for her story. But he is still intent on going it alone, walking away despite the bullet in his leg. He comes across the car that had the man with the leg wound in it earlier in the episode, now abandoned on the side of the road.

    Morgan sees the man limping away and sets out after him. His progress is slow thanks to his leg, and two walkers quickly overtake him. This title is not up to her personal best and as others note, it reworks her own title, Bard. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery even when it's your own work, apparently. Overall, this story seems to have been composed in the mornings before lunch and a substantial naptime. I'm getting to that age also so good on her for the nap.

    Read it at your peril. It's fantasy of a disappointing, simplistic sort. Just to be on the safe side? Of course there's no anchor date here and a mishmash of cues so hey, where are the Romans? Caught in the nasal mist. An example of an added anachronism, and that also doesn't suit this region, is to have characters writing, and on wax tablets see p 23 of hardbound.

    And there is the overly florid, and sometimes insipid prose, and misuse of buzzwords as if those were symbiotic. This reduces Europe's oldest mythology to fantasy that relies on every last fuzzy-green feelgood trope when not bemoaning poor old Eriu and its tragic history. There IS a new paradigm for how Gaelic language and culture arose, but you won't find it here.

    Despite her personally knowing Sir Barry Cunliffe, emeritus, of Oxford and now retired; Llywelyn does not incorporate the new paradigm. Countless mention is made of 'Celts' coming from the 'northern forests' , ie, from the Continent TO the Isles: The new paradigm fits better with the evidence in archaeology, and linguistics, and genetics: Gaelic most probably arose on the Atlantic coasts as a trader tongue and established itself firmly in the Isles before it washed inland along trade rivers on the Continent.

    There are many excellent nonfiction volumes on this topic. None of them are in the author's Bibliography at the back of this title. Contact me here on GR if you'd like to be updated and edified. Llywelyn received a HF title that uses the new paradigm for ancient Ireland, a few years ago at an Irish authors' event, so she had ample chance to flatter it [ Bending The Boyne ] in this workshe did little enough of that, preferring to mimic her own fantasy bias.

    The work could also have been titled, Only The Cliches Survive. Dec 30, Andy rated it liked it. I had a hard time rating this book. As a stand alone book I think it merits 2 or 2. If read in conjunction with Bard, Llywelyn's prior book that covers the same story from the perspective of the Gaels, then I think it merits closer to 4 stars. Ultimately I rated it as a 3 as a compromise.

    Unfortunately, it does not carry the weight of the story. This is really little more than an involved addendum to Bard and, when the scenes which are shared with that previous book are removed, I had a hard time rating this book.

    This is really little more than an involved addendum to Bard and, when the scenes which are shared with that previous book are removed, it is mainly a retelling of the invasion story from the perspective of the Tuatha. While this provides interesting material, it really doesn't stand as a story. I would urge readers to read Bard prior to reading this, and to certainly refrain from this book if they have not yet read anything by Morgan Llywelyn.

I get that it was supposed to be philosophical, but it brought up all kinds of ideas and then just dropped them without development. Great thought, but delivery needs more work I liked the premise of this book, but I just don't like the writing style. I feel like we're being told everything rather than actually seeing anything. Mar 11, Leah rated it really liked it Shelves: From the beginning I expected the tragedy that the Danann would suffer, but as the story progressed it became clear that disaster and misery were also in store for the invading Gaels.

    The story had a ring of legend to it with the flawed heroes the warriors inevitably turning on each other when they should have enjoyed their peace, and the decimated Danann finding a new home and beginning anew. I would like to explore some [3. I would like to explore some of the history behind this fantasy story, the place names and characters, the Hill of Tara. Irish history is haunting and beautiful in it's mythical ancient-ness. Jan 18, Matt Mitrovich rated it it was ok.

    There is a sub-genre of speculative fiction that revolves around telling the true origins of the myths and legends of different cultures.

    Only the Stones Survive

    There are good and bad ways to tell these stories and a recent example that I read is Only the Stones Survive by Morgan Llywelyn. Onl Originally posted here: Only the Stones Survive focuses on the myths and legends of pagan Ireland. They look like small humans except for their pointed ears and they do their best to live in harmony with their surroundings. In return, their home grants them supernatural abilities.

    Our main point of view for this culture is the young Joss who comes of age when a tribe of Gaels has arrived seeking a new home after their lands in Iberia can no longer support them. They come with iron weapons and take whatever they want from the land instead of seeking a balance like the Children of Light. As mentioned earlier, Only the Stones Survive gives the true origins of the Celtic fairy tales of Ireland. Even the fear of iron, which was even worked into the The Long Earth series, was explained.

    If you have an interest in Irish mythology, you will probably enjoy the book, but I frankly found it boring. I felt like the author skipped over a lot of interesting bits, like the battles or the politicking of the Children of Light. Additionally there was one scene that annoyed me.

    Two characters talked about what just happened to them and what they felt about it…only to have several chapters after that cover the events of the same conversation in detail. What was the point of giving away so much of the book so early? It was like spoiling your own work to audience. If you have an interest in Irish mythology, you will probably enjoy this book. If not, then there are plenty of other books out there you should be reading. Jan 04, Rebecca rated it really liked it. After doing some background research on the history of Only the Stones Survive, I was super excited to be offered a chance to review it by my contact at Tor Books which I accepted.

    The book is based on Irish mythology, specifically the people called the Tuatha de Danann which eventually evolved into the faeries we are more familiar with. Besides, anything that is vaguely inspired by the F After doing some background research on the history of Only the Stones Survive, I was super excited to be offered a chance to review it by my contact at Tor Books which I accepted.

    Besides, anything that is vaguely inspired by the Fae is probably on my reading list. Only the Stones Survive is the carefully told story of the fall of the Tuatha de Danann through the eyes of one of the few surviving members of their race. Joss, later called Elgolai na Starbird was a child when the war with the Gaels began and was a man when it ended. He tells of the slaughter of their Kings and Queens and warriors and how the children and the old hid in caverns, ever on the lookout for their enemy.

    I was surprised by how moving I found the story to be and was pleased with the outcome.

    At other times the emotions were raw, particularly in the moments of grief and loss. The overall tone of the book was somewhat despairing, but finished with a hopeful, almost triumphant feeling. I was surprised that I enjoyed the book so much! Morgan Llywelyn is an extremely talented writer and this book is one of many on the history of the Celts and Ireland. In the future I can see myself exploring her works further, both fiction and nonfiction.

    I would definitely recommend Only the Stones Survive to fans of historical fiction, folklore, mythology, or those who enjoy a broad spectrum of fantasy novels. This was really a beautifully done tale of love, loss and the growth of a leader, reluctant though he may have been. There were elements of this book that I really loved, for instance, I love that this is a book based around mythology and folklore — especially Irish mythology and folklore, of which little is known or spoken about.

    One of my favourite parts of the book was the description of the near-death experience, in which a man longs to join his wife in death but also must live. The description here was beautiful.

    Whilst Ierne felt mystical in some ways, I feel like it should have felt like another character and been concentrated on a lot more. I have read mythological novels before, such as The Gospel of Loki, which in my opinion was far superior. I think this book is only for people who have already heard stories and have some knowledge about the Tuatha de Dannan. Apr 25, Jason ON rated it liked it. It's been years since I read a Llewellyn book and on a whim I grabbed this one a couple of weeks ago. If you've read Bard then you already know the story here: This book, Only the Stones Survive is the other side of that story, from the point of view for the most part of the Tuatha de Danaan instead of the invaders.

    What I liked about the book: All the proto-Celtic philosophy and how Morgan Llewellyn weaves Irish lore with reality. Of course, she's a master at doing exactly this. And I really appreciate how she wove the fate of the remnants of the Tuatha de Danaan into Irish history.

    What I didn't care for: It really annoys me when authors change POV characters in the middle of a chapter, but this book sometimes changes them in the middle of a paragraph. All in all it's a great story even if a little convoluted.

    They see a girl crawling down the middle of the road and stop to investigate. Unfortunately, it seems she stopped telling the story half way through. The opinion you have read is mine and was not influenced by anyone else. Morgan Llywelyn is an extremely talented writer and this book is one of many on the history of the Celts and Ireland. She has done a service in keeping people interested in western Europe's oldest mythology, even if it is reduced to pablum.

    If you read Bard then you'll want to pick this up as a companion piece, but let's face it, it's not Morgan Llewellyn's best novel. Oct 11, Pamela Morris rated it really liked it. I got this book on Edelweiss as an advanced e-galley. I love Celtic fantasy, and overall I did enjoy this book. I definitely felt it could have been fleshed out more. It seemed almost an abridged version of what it could have been. Aug 15, Gino Kutcher rated it liked it. The ending was a bit abrupt and the path from beginning to end would not be easy to track even in full daylight but in many ways this suits the story itself.

    It had a few twists and turns that were just confusing and I had to re-read. But for the most part it was a very interesting. What I gather it's a take on how Ireland started. So one magical race is occupying a Magical Island and a new one comes in and tries to take it over. It's a rough go for everyone but peace eventually prevails in a long round about way.

    Or so I figured. Lol The ch I would give this book between 2 and 3 stars. Lol The characters aren't very personalized, but you do quickly pick a side. And are happy how things turn out in the end. Feb 23, Gustavo D rated it really liked it. Almost 20 years ago I read Llywelyn's 'Bard', a book which led me to read all of her books that I could get a hold of.
