I first read this Irish-tinged gothic fantasy back in 2021 and, at the time, found it thought-provoking, lived-in, and atmospheric (see my initial blog post here). That has not changed. I'm happy to say that the Orcs & Aliens book group agreed with me when we discussed it on Monday night, though we also agreed that it's a bit light on mermaids for a book with a giant tail on the cover. But the wealth of other creatures from Irish folklore more than made up for that. Glad I gave this one a second read-through, and I'll definitely be looking into more of Slatter's books in this world.
