I allowed myself a rare guilty pleasure yesterday and spent the whole day reading this book.

The writing is marvellous – dense, yet efficient and the characters are built incredibly well, especially Gideon Mack who despite his odd experiences, remains a sympathetic protagonist.

The story is very well-constructed. I have always been a fan of British legend & myth so it’s a joy to see Robertson covering this subject so well. There are so many questions raised throughout – some are answered, but many are not, especially the role of religion in today’s society which is debated at length in the novel.

A must-read.
