Praise
This book was gripping and genuinely surprised me with the narration and enjoyable, witty and hilarious dialogues. I loved all the characters especially Lady Eleanor and Barnabas, they were my favourites for sure. The author's writing style pulls you in and doesn't let go. The story follows a magnificent streak of comical, remarkably curious and entertaining events that you won't see coming. It's definitely one of the best reads of the year.
Author Lisa A. Moore draws from Celtic and Norse mythology to present an absorbing, fantastical tale of magic, mystery, and adventure. Whispers of the Selkie follows a young woman's journey of self-discovery as she fulfills her destiny. Moore paces the plot nicely, featuring timely twists and turns along the way that keep the reader invested in the story. The narrative is thoroughly engrossing, primarily because of the likable and well-developed characters. Morwenna is easy to root for, but it's the side characters like Skye, Ava, Ewan, and even Lucien who make you feel the stakes and add depth to the story. The action sequences are epic. Fantasy fans will have an absolute blast reading those scenes. I loved everything about this book. If you're a fantasy reader, definitely grab a copy!
