Review title: 1st edition and plenty of room for improvement
Product review: O'Hara's book is the only one I've been able to find on Sun lore. Since I had no other information on solar-based pagan religions (i.e. Slavic) this was a good start. The selection of "stories" collected is pretty diverse and broken down into tales of Origin, Solar Dignitaries and Other Tales. There are also 2 (short) cool indexes of solar dieties listed in the back. Unfortunately despite all the information packed into this book, O'Hara's retelling of the tales isn't very good. She doesn't retell every tale but instead just sums it up. Some sections contain interesting information on the dieties, but I wouldn't consider it a story. This made the reading dry and boring. It feels like it was written in a passive voice. I would love to see O'Hara revise this book and either get permission to reprint tales from other books or interview people and get tales from the "source." All in all, a good book to own for information, bad for reading.
