★★★★★
The Ancient Fire is the first in the Triple Goddess series by Ellen Read. It's a fantasy novel rooted in rich Celtic mythology and filled with lush imagery, suspenseful action, and themes of identity, legacy, and awakening power. The story follows Bree, a young woman raised in isolation with her aunt Áine, who discovers her divine lineage as the daughter of Brigid, the Triple Goddess. When an earthquake shakes their hidden world and the sacred fire she's sworn to protect begins to change, Bree is thrust into a dangerous journey back to her homeland of Tír na nÓg. Alongside the brash warrior god Lu, Bree must come to terms with her powers, her grief, and the peril threatening her people.

I couldn't put this one down. Read's writing is poetic without being too flowery, and the pacing dances between quiet introspection and bursts of action. Bree is a character I wanted to root for—clever, curious, brave, and deeply human even as her godhood awakens. The dynamic between her and Lu had me grinning. There's tension, banter, and just enough mystery to keep things spicy. What I loved most was how the magic felt sacred and elemental—more myth than wizardry, more essence than spectacle. And the fairies were delightful. The scene where Bree uses fire to chase off trolls? I actually cheered. 

The lore, while fascinating, occasionally teetered on overwhelming. There's a lot to absorb—names, places, histories—and at times I wished for a breather or a bit more grounding. Also, Lu's macho swagger sometimes grated. I get that he's a warrior god and all, but maybe chill. Thankfully, Bree holds her own and then some. Her transformation from cave-bound girl to rising goddess is powerful, and her grief for a mother she never knew is heartbreakingly real. Those emotional notes hit hard, and that's what gave the book its heart.

The Ancient Fire lit something in me. It's more than a fantasy, it's about becoming who you were meant to be, even when you didn't know you had it in you. I'd recommend this to anyone who loves myth-rich world-building, fierce heroines, and the spark of magic hiding in ancient stories. This book's for the dreamers, the rebels, and those who believe stories shape the world.
