An intriguingly gothic horror set against the backdrop of the English Civil War. Possession, troubling sea monsters, intrigue and twist upon twist make this a very satisfying read. Characters you care about keep you reading on and the history side of things is beautifully handled. Everything seems natural and not laboured in terms of 'look how much research I did.' You never feel like you're on a guided tour. I really enjoyed this.

It wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t what I was looking for, therefore my enjoyment wasn’t as big as i expected.

Letto le ultime dieci pagine + i ringraziamenti ascoltando Once upon a dream di Lana del Ray, mentre sono nel primo giorno di ciclo = lacrimoni. Gotico, fantasy, medievale, atmosferico, magico, horror, trauma religioso, meraviglioso. Unica pecca: è un esordio mediocre per lo stile e la struttura narrativa, segue alla lettera il viaggio dell'eroe rendendo la storia abbastanza prevedibile e con pochissimi plot twist
