If I'd read this before Once Upon a River, I don't think I'd have read Once Upon a River. This was just very strange and detached, with a lot about rooks and a lot about mourning and not much insight about anything, really. Beautifully written, though.

This is as cheesy as an Oxford Blue but I do like something to savour, even if at times it's crumbly and over-ripe. It's otherwise notable for the majority of characters being good and decent, which doesn't happen much in fiction as it doesn't often make a good and decent story, but somehow it works here.
