Stormy Petrel by Mary Stewart

3.0

2.5 stars? This one was just okay, definitely not my favourite of the Mary Stewart books I've read. It had a very slow start (I was quite bored initially) and even when things start happening, the plot is not all that interesting or exciting. The "mystery" feels like it's over almost before it's begun! I didn't particularly connect with the narrator, and there was really no romance at all in here (only the barest hint of a possibility of one), so it didn't have that as a subplot to evoke an emotional response from me. I was left just feeling pretty "meh" about it. I did like the setting and the appreciation that several of the characters had for the wildlife.
