This is one of those annoying books where things would go MUCH easier if people just TALKED to each other. Everything in the plot hinges on People Keeping Secrets, or People Holding Things Too Close To Their Chests And Not Sharing. Jeezopete.

Positives: lots of female characters. Four generations of women. Interesting setting. Selkies 
Negatives: heavy-handed environmental message. Nobody talks to anybody or really gets along, at least at first.

I was disappointed in the book, frankly. I find KKR's writing to be a mixed bag. Some things I quite like. Others just kinda don't work for me. This is one of the latter.

And there are no dragons or unicorns in this book. Jeezopete.
