I was intrigued by the synopsis of this book. Despite it being as far away from horror as you could possibly go, I thought it would be worth a read. This book dragged me in from the first page. It was like a magical fantasy story without a hint of Matt's dark storytelling, although the flowing, laid back narrative was typical 'Shaw'.I felt all the emotions of the characters as they lived through the events in this fantastic tale and felt pretty wrung out by the last page.Matt Shaw's fan base are predominantly horror readers. This is a fabulous way to introduce a wider range of readers into his fan base. I just hope he continues to explore other genres, as I think this talent is too good to limit to such a limited audience.
