Review: An original fairy tale
Rating: 4 out of 5

The story itself was fabulous, my only issue was I thought it was just a bit drawn out.  But, the characters were very appealing, the descriptions the author went into were outstanding and this is not a bit like a childhood fairy tale.  The concept of an island and it's people trapped in time and hardly aging entranced me.  As I read the last of t he book I became so wrapped up in death's character it brought me to my knees.  I love it when an author writes about such a strong female character like Catherine who is in every way an equal to Gerard. I wasn't sure when I began this book that it was something I could enjoy but the more I read the more addicted I became.  I really do think this book is much more than it appears and we all take into a book what we personally see.
