This was a really fun roller coaster ride in reading form. I love when a book that is part of a series can stand on its own without needing any tedious explanations of the characters past adventures. I have never read any work from William Florence before but it will not be the last. I wanted to read this novel because of its setting in Ireland. The story line was enjoyable and there were plenty of plot twists to keep the reader guessing. Once or twice i did think the end was coming only to be caught in another twist, maybe too many times. I loved the characters and can't wait to read about some their other adventures. Thank you for allowing me to read your book.
