This was an early review I received. It is a children’s book. It was a cute read. A bit slow with the world building and character building, but did get more exciting near the end. I think a child between the goes of 8 and 10 would enjoy it. (

Cute, fun story. Seren is less genre-savvy than I expected her to be - though I suppose if she prefers reading Sherlock Holmes to fairy stories there's no reason for her to know details. The Crow is...a very unlikely coincidence, as are most of the things that help her. And why the heck did the family choose to bring her there at all? It's been nearly a year, surely they hadn't offered before things happened... Unlikely but nicely done. (

This was a fun and quick middle grade adventure set in Wales. I don't think I've ever read a book set in Wales before! It was fast paced enough to keep the story moving along and was really engaging for a book that's so short. (
