I enjoyed this, and it’s beautifully written. It’s partially let down though by underdeveloped characterisation, particularly the main love interest. She doesn’t seem to exist other than as Mara’s lover which made it difficult to invest too much in them as a pair. Even the island which feels sometimes like a character in itself needs more time to reveal its magic to us.
