wyvernfriend's review against another edition
4.0
Throughout most of this I wanted to give it 5 stars, but the ending just felt a bit of a let-down in comparison to the rest of the story.
In a world where the Egyptian empire never fell there's a part of Ireland that's only accessible through portals, where aliens, vampires, werewolves and magic co-exist. In this place Salmon Farsade is an orphan with an ability to read auras, she's apprenticed to Inspector McCabe to investigate the murder of Fen Maguire.
It's an interesting world, a world that feels like the undercurrent in Ireland that root of superstition and magic realism that is just under the veneer of modern culture, the one that has golf clubs redesign courses to avoid fairy trees. This could only have been improved by being voiced by Eddie Lenihan and a slightly better ending, it just didn't satisfy me, it felt a bit rushed and not thought through as much as the rest of the story.
I am looking forward to more by this author
