Carrier of the Mark by Leigh Fallon

1.0

Read this as a manuscript for a lit scout. Possibly the lowest rating I gave of the books I read for him. I loved the concept, especially being set in Ireland, but so many things fell short for me. I found the writing bad (which I only seem to notice when it's extremely good or bad). The love story was forced and unbelievable. Didn't much care for those two leads either. Some of the side chracters were alright, but then the technicalities of the supernatural element bogged down the plot. It was very disappointing.
