I the moment found on my own watching a 'sing-off' between Irish as well as British individuals as they combated over the appropriate rehearsal of their preferred legend.

However there's a contact of areal affection as well. Look at the Irish audiences distressed along with Sarah J. Maas, and also the representation of Hybern/Ireland as the villains. Certainly not an excellent action coming from an English writer, neither her first fake . Nevertheless, there's merely a shred of overlap on the Venn representation for Celtic Folklore Reads and BIPOC authors I simply found one. That doesn't suggest they don't exist at all.
