![]() It's great to see Jane growing up, although still mightily confused, and that's one of the joys of this series - these people have grown and changed and we've shared their struggles with them. This time around the story takes in Morris dancing (and makes it something that isn't all silly and fluttery for the tourists), the symbols of the Green Man and the Sheela na Gig, as well as Merrily, who is a wonderful character, continuing her struggles with the church. ![]() As ever with Rickman, it's a mixture of the day to day and the mystic/pagan side of life, and because of that they're not necessarily easy reads, and Rickman's style can be a little bit hard to follow from time to time, but all of that adds to the pleasure of reading something that feels a little bit - different. The series began to feel as if it was coming to its natural conclusion, certainly with the last Merrily book (Friends of the Dusk), but this time around he's really hit his stride again. ![]() ![]() This is Rickman at his best, no doubt about it. ![]()
