review 1: Really absorbing to begin with, though in the end I was disappointed with how simplistic this stories resolutions were. I appreciated the morally grey aspect of Evie's victimhood/vengeful nature but since Evie suppressed both of these sides of her personality the emotional impact remained suppressed too. I'd compare it to Patrick Ness's 'A Monster Calls' though that book had stronger revelations in its final chapters.
review 2: This is a book with hidden depths. It tackles a subject most people would certainly find disturbing. The character of Evie is written sensitively with very dark overtones hidden within the narrative . The description of the changing seasons of the fens and it's flora and fauna is almost magical as is the depiction of the dragon. Interest... moreing and brave idea for a debut novel. Looking forward to more from this author less
