The best thing about this book is the island setting, paired with the absolutely magical writing style. I wasn't always a huge fan of the characters, particularly in the middle section of the book, but I can see why the author chose to develop them a certain way. This is ultimately a really engrossing tale of family, grief, love and home, which completely transports you to a world as real as it is fantastical.
