Carrier Of The Mark by Leigh Fallon

4.0

I really enjoyed reading Carrier of The Mark. When you first open the book you get to read a prologue which gives you a taste of what is to come, and although it takes a while to get there, it is worth the read and the wait.

Carrier of the Mark has mysterious winds and water, dancing moths and supernatural powers. Throw in some cute boys and you have the perfect recipe for a great book.

I really liked how the story is paced, days to weeks then months, but I don't feel like I have missed out on any important things.
Carrier of the Mark is the debut book for Leigh Fallon, and as an author her writing is believable and not hurried. She keeps me interested in what was going on or going to happen next, but doesn't make the powers the focus of the book and taking away from what else is happening. The friendships and relationships formed are realistic and the circumstances surrounding the characters fit in seamlessly with what is going on.
I liked how the characters powers were tied in with their emotions and that there were a few "wet weeks" but could guarantee on a "nice weekend". I like reading the descriptions used to not only describe what the powers were doing, but also the emotions the person was feeling.

I really loved how its set in Ireland, although I am from England I knew most of the words being used and what they meant before the characters translated them for Megan and laughed at some of the words being used.
