Feels like it's written by a gay teenage folklorist that's obsessed with the legends and mythology that surrounds their small coastal Scottish town - not unlike fanfic. Very lighthearted dark fantasy book with very loveable characters, definitely not groundbreaking, but a pleasant/cozy-ish read.

A very entertaining novel with compelling characters. It was hard to put it down once started.
I was frustrated at the relationship between Thomas and Isla (but that because I almost immediately adopted Thomas as my son and felt protective of him, even if I could easily understand why Isla was harsh to him) but each character was well developed and I couldn't stop reading. Liked the use of the Celtic myths and the Scottish Isle setting.
Would recommend it to everyone.I'm curious to see what the author has in store next!
