I found this book interesting, and I genuinely enjoyed the romance of Bel and Alys, despite the breaking down of it in the end, which felt natural and good for the progression of the story.
HOWEVER, the ending??? absolutely awful. left on a weird disappointing cliffhanger (if you can even call it that), and the book feels incomplete. if Dunn had added even just a couple more chapters wrapping things up instead of seemingly just dropping the story without resolution this book would have a much much higher rating.
TLDR: a good book which is tremendously let down by the ending, or lack thereof.
