(I received this book for free as part of Goodreads First Reads giveaways).
(This review may contain spoilers).
Having reached the end of this book, I’m still left with some questions about it, but I still found it really well-written and a good read.
I liked Flora as a character and I also liked the relationship she had with Ailsa. Flora was someone I could really relate to and I saw a lot of myself in her.
I really liked the interspersing of the Selkie myths with the story. It was interesting to see the contrast of the vicious myths with the more gentle ones.
The use of first person worked really well in this book. I could picture a lot of the events happening inside my mind.
The mystery came across really well in this book and there were a few things I didn’t see coming.
I don’t normally like ambiguous things in books, but in this case, I do think it worked. I really liked this book and I would definitely be interested in looking at more books by this author in the future. It’s sad in parts, but is well-written.
