Folklore was great...but felt very slow. Like at times I was the one trudging through a landscape that instead of being shortened by the folk was being stretched.

5.0

A beautifully woven Scottish fantasy that is handled with gravitas and care. The relationships are loving and strained by real heavy secrets, not shallow insecurities and miscommunications. The love isn't cheesy nor solely about lust, nor does it feel separate from the storyline. The magic is integral and practical as well, instead of a weapon or a way to get out of difficult situations. I'm on the edge of my seat waiting to read the sequel!

Would read this book again. I’m excited to read the sequel, I just couldn’t put the book down it was such a good read and very well written. The world building and characters were really interesting too.

I enjoyed the story, it was a unique concept that is different than other fantasy stories I’ve read. I’m interested to see what happens next. 

I gave it 4 stars because I felt as if the dialogue was unnatural. It made the romance and relationships of the characters feel detached. Despite this, I still liked the characters and want to know what will happen to them in future books.
