Review: Some books just stick with you and this will be once of those books. Melling is an amazing writer. Her details of Ireland are beautiful, I can almost see the green hills, smell the Irish sea, taste the faerie foods that would entrap me. I love how faithful she was to celtic Irish lore but that she made it come to life in her own way. Qwen was funny, and very relatable to me... we both love food lol, and I share hers and Finn's love of Faeries and Folklore. The way the book was writen was beautiful and the characters wonderful, this book is one of my all time favorites.
