This story hooked me from the beginning. A fascinating setting from the engaging perspective of Marta, where the story started immediately.The cross to modern-day Ireland threw me a bit because I hadn't expected it. I admit I didn't read the blurb before I picked up the book. Nevertheless, the transition in time and perspective is almost seamless.I sympathise more with Tristan and Marta than Sarajane. It wasn't the way Sheridan wrote the character - it was simply the character herself. Sarajane has no sense of self-preservation and her first thought in any situation is to run - heedless of where, whether it's a bad idea or possibly even a worse situation than the one she's running from. I think I'd read the story just to find out what happens to Tristan - for I definitely will be purchasing the sequel.A truly lovely Irish urban fantasy, which I hope will shape into an interesting series.
