Scovell is a brilliant writer, I’m normally a girl that needs a huge plot In a book but this didn’t have one and I was more than okay with it because of how it was written. The elements of folklore within this book were excellently done!
Would like to pick up more by this author

Not sure about this one. The style of writing is interesting, and it does fall into that category of British lit-fic that I tend to love, but something falls a little flat here. 
Interesting, but not brilliant.
