A review by mirandahopeshea
The Charmed Children of Rookskill Castle by Janet Fox

2.0

A clever concept made irrelevant by poor construction and tedious exposition. We found nothing out for ourselves in this book, which despite it's atmospheric and intriguing premise, fell incredibly flat. An added star for the idea: a WW2 fantasy ghost story set in the highlands of Scotland. So enticing that upon discovering it, I had to have a read. What if this novel (with the same idea behind it) was written by someone with better story construction skills, better writing, and the ability to create three dimensional characters? I think it would have been a hit.
