"A great gothic horror with a mix of fantasy "
Rebecca andersen
"It was really interesting to read a book that included so much Australian folklore. At times though it did seem to switch between stories so quickly that I couldn’t keep up."

"I really enjoyed this novel. Most of the time, the prose is beautiful. At times, the amount of figurative language feels like a bit much to wade through. But overall, very enjoyable. The structure of the novel is intriguing, with jumps to different perspectives."
