A Study in Drowning

This book, oh this book, it will take you along on this epic tale filled with love, loss, fantasy, reality, and folklore that twirl together like fairies dancing in the glen.

To say I loved this one would be an understatement, I want to live in this world, good and bad, with the seamless blending of magic and realism, it's just brilliant.

Effy's character is perfection, she loves literature and does whatever she has to do to prove her thoughts and dreams to be true, she's the kind of character that will make you believe in everything and nothing at the same time.

Preston is her perfect counterpart, he has doubts, he wants to prove that Myrddin is a fraud and that all of Effy's dreams are just that, dreams.

While the characters are fantastic, the house, Hiraeth Manor is its character, it has life, purpose, and everything that makes gothic settings my absolute favorite type of setting.

If you like gothic settings, tales that blend magic with whimsy and reality this book is for you, if you like books that make you question reality this book is for you, if you just want something that will let you escape reality for a while this is the book for you.
