This was stunning....
The writing style is what I loved most about this book! i was so immersed into this book I read it all in one sitting.
The mother fighting for her child was really inspiring and honestly you don't see that very often in fantasy books so this was a new one for me! The romance was sweet and adorable between Riona and Conor and I really like their dynamic together. They are just so supportive to each other in the best ways and they just know how to be their for each other. I will definitely be reading more from this author.

A very descriptive and very unique story. I enjoyed reading this and look forward to more of healy. Thank you

I was a fan of Healy's first book Unbound and had high expectations for this one, and it did not disappoint. Loved seeing a mother at the center of the story and fighting for her child at all costs. The romance between Riona and Conor was sweet and genuine, and how they balanced their love for each other with their devotion to their daughter, even when they disagreed. No spoilers, but the villain was fantastic and the mystery and suspense was really well done. Just like with Unbound the Irish mythology and folklore were beautiful and so engaging. I've never read the fairy tale of The Snow The Crow and the Blood but I definitely will now.Overall it was a really lovely and emotional read and a solid sophomore novel. Can't wait to read what's next. Thanks to Netgalley and the author for an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This was an atmospheric, emotionally grounded fantasy retelling with deep roots in Irish mythology, and I was instantly hooked. Unseen is steeped in sorrow, sacrifice, and the fierce, enduring strength of love, particularly the kind that can move between worlds.

Riona Ó Conchúir has known nothing but death at her heels; her life marked by loss, her loved ones claimed one by one by the shadowy lord of death who has long pursued her. But when her daughter falls ill with a blood-sickness no one can cure, Riona finally makes the unthinkable decision: to serve the god of death in exchange for her child’s life. From there, we are swept into the hidden realm of the sídhe, lost relics of godly power, and the ever-thickening tangle of fate, myth, and duty.

What makes this story so powerful is the way the narrative jumps between moments in Riona’s life. You’re not just told what she’s lost, you feel it. The time-jumping structure fleshes out her backstory with emotional weight, letting us see how her past shaped her into the woman desperate enough to face gods and monsters for her daughter. There’s also a romantic thread woven between Riona and Conor, who’s been searching for a cure while raising their daughter alone. When she returns after nearly a decade, magic-drenched and worn by everything she’s endured, their shared history brings both pain and hope to the surface.

The writing is lyrical and immersive without being dense. I was turning pages quickly, always eager to see what new twist or mythological reveal would come next. It’s a quiet kind of epic, the fate of an entire realm balanced on deeply personal stakes.

Fans of folkloric fantasy and tragic-hopeful love stories will find something to love here.

A haunting tale about love, death, and what we’re willing to sacrifice for both. Thank you to the Author and Net Galley for the ARC, I am leaving this review with my honest opinion.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Firstly, I'd like to thank Christy Healy, the publisher and netgalley for letting me read and review an advanced digital copy of this book.

Unseen is a well written fantasy Retelling of the snow, the crow and the blood which refers to Irish mythology, the chapters skips between time in the FMC's life to build up the background information of Riona (FMC) and why she has to make certain choices in the book, she's had a hard life with lots of loss and she doesn't want to lose the one she loves the most.

The story, writing and plot was engaging and the mystery behind what was going to happen had me easily flipping through the pages to find out what was going to happen next. I really enjoyed reading this book and would happily read more of this author's work, thankyou for a wondeful read!!
