This was kind of a let down, honestly. While there are a couple interesting characters and the art is pretty nice, the story as a whole lacks backbone. So much is hinted at or teased, but the authors fail to deliver any real substance to feed the reader. At one point, a character grumbles, "No straight answers", and that exactly how I felt about this book. "The Black Bull of Norroway" promises a lot, but in reality there is just a lot of half-hearted exposition and partially formed tales of mythical dead people. ( )

A lot is going on. Some of it is confusing, but it had my interest. Sibylla is mouthy and indecisive, and she knows as much about the curse as we do. I would probably read book two. Brom's brother is beautiful, by the way.

I'm not familiar with the Scottish tale, so everything is new to me. ( )

Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher. ( )

Review to come! ( )

Loved the art, not the storyline. ( )
