This was my 1980 book pick for my 50 years/50 books challenge. I thought this was going to be more of a werewolf/spooky story... Instead it was a medieval, enchanted, fantasy adventure. The writing was competent and the pacing worked well... Just not enough character development or peril for me. Also, the language seemed a little stilted. Not sure this was a product of a British writer, the time period (1980) she was writing in, or just her choice for the subject matter? Not my fave.
