6/10, well where do I begin with this one; I was hoping that I would enjoy this book which turned out to be book three in the series however each book can be read as a standalone and it's sad to see that the library removed books one and two because not enough people read them or they were too old yet they didn't get rid of this one yet so I'm perplexed at the inconsistency considering that this book is a decade old now. That being said the entire book is a slog and I doubt that the other books in the series are enjoyable as well but this one begins with Mally living in a medieval village on the Isle of Man when she sees a ghost and talks to them, wow where have I seen this one before; how original, anyways she deduces that the ghost is the spirit of a character who died long ago and there's a part explaining the story of the ghosts however the execution isn't all that great as it didn't need to be that long and that much of a slog and should've been cut down to make way for more scenes involving Mally and also Dolyn Craig was the antagonist however he was mostly in the background and wasn't integral to the book. She is a bit reckless though as she goes into the rockpool and cave system and almost dies in the process but fortunately she wasn't killed, in the end, it mentions that there was another ghost and he came into being when part of a house fell into the sea and killed someone which was kind of sad but I didn't care for them nor any other one in this book since they weren't that well written which was a shame. This series should be way more popular than it is now because it is so unique since it is set in some fantasy village in the Isle of Man where anything could happen and if you like low fantasies like this one pick this but there are other good ones like The Midnight Girls by Alicia Jasinska you can try.… (lisätietoja)
