I don’t know how to talk about this one without spoilers. First, several authors and reviewers I trust LOVE this book. I know the story of Tam Lin because I’ve read two other adaptations of it (Rose and Rot by Kat Howard, which I really enjoyed, and Fire and Hemlock by Diana Wynne Jones, which, according to these same authors and reviewers, should also have been a life-changing experience – it was not). Since I knew the story already, I was looking for clues early and pretty sure I was seeing them, but OH MY GOD this story took forEVER to get to the point, and then it rushed through EVERYthing right at the end. And left a lot of questions. NOT lifechanging for me. Maybe if I’d read it at a younger age…or maybe not.
