The Storm Keeper's Island by Catherine Doyle
4.0
Flitting between a three and four star.
It was good. The story and magic were wonderous, the world unusual and whimsical. The characters were possibly a little lacking in originality but the writing was great. It was consistent, paced well and I really don't have anything bad to say about it. It just didn't grab my magic loving soul and run away with it like other similar stories. It could have been me, I was reading at a fairly hectic life point and it was strongly suggested that I read it, and being the little rebellious dweeb I am, that generally makes me like something less. So I will lean towards the higher rating because I really think it was me. Such a shame cos it really is a good read.
