A review by kitaayla
The Gift by Patrick O'Leary

3.0

While enjoyable, The Gift can be disconcerting in its style. It draws strongly on oral storytelling which is unexpected in a written format. I found it hard to follow at times and it lacks the detail of explanation or a system of magic with particular rules. Very little is fully explained, which I found frustrating. Though I enjoyed the reveal at the end of the book, I was not a huge fan of the ending. The book was okay, but I wasn't overly impressed.
