What are readers saying about The Knowledge Seekers?

A small section of reviews, from Authorised Purchases on Amazon,  of The Knowledge Seekers & The Land of Cudhabeen.

The author has a unique style and is expert at telling a story in an entertaining and interesting way. Some of his stories have echoes of Flann O'Brien's "AT Swim Two Birds" He obviously cares about language and his work is true art.

Tales of love and loss set in the mythological fairy realms of old Ireland. A sweeping novel of fantasy love, intersected by transcendent poetry. Lazarian Wordsmith has a way with words. He effortlessly weaves magic with moments of aching realism. A fast read.

Lazarian Wordsmith weaves Irish legend and history into a book written from his own poetic viewpoint. He includes some of his evocative poetry which sheds a special light on this country where magic and legend still hold so much sway. For visitors to Ireland, this book should be read alongside a standard travel guide. For those who know the country well, it will be an added ingredient to the great melting-pot of Celtic mystery.

I gave my rating as I was delighted to be reading a book from a local Author and I enjoyed his mix of old Celtic stories and poetry. Looking out for his next book.

I would endorse this book to anyone who is interested in Irish culture from the first settlers to the computer literate generation of today. The Twitter and Micro-poetry poems use a minimum of words to convey emotion and social comment.

An enjoyable and entertaining journey through simpler times, emotion, joy, sadness, humour and well written evocative language! A perfect mix of poetry and short stories!
