3.0

The back cover says Jarman has won awards for her historical novels, so I am willing to believe that she writes good historical fiction, but her first fantasy falls short. It is clearly inspired by Tanith Lee and possibly Lovecraft, but it doesn't work for me. The characters don't ring true and are stereotypical throwbacks to the 30s.
