The Stumpwork Robe and The Last Stitch really form one longer book. Neither book stands alone.
I believe this is a self-published set. I'm pleased to see someone get their story out there and I found the books enjoyable.
The story is set in a world similar to ours but also populated with creatures who are borrowed from mythology. The author has a visual artist's sensibility in her descriptions of landscapes, water, hair, etc. Those who stitch will appreciate her prose. Stit More...

I very much enjoyed the world of Eirie and the trials and tribulations of Adelina the Traveller.

A great, unusual fantasy for fantasy lovers who look for something original and not remakes of LOTR, HP or Twilight. Fairies are the main magic of this world - but it's not Earth, so check it out.
I just loved it. And I went straight to book two! :-D

I thought this book odd as I started to read it and initially I wasn't sure whether I liked the way it was written. However it wasn't long before I was hooked. I found myself intrigued by the characters and the magical things that happened. Some of it was a bit gruesome though! I've now got to buy the next book to find out what happens to Adelina!

I just read this and was totally enchanted. Each page drew me to the next and I could not put it down until the last page. I look forward to more books by this author!

Great style but fairy-tale thin world-building and uninspiring characters; the narrative entranced me despite not caring a bit for the fate of any of the main characters and a mixture of unknown to me (presumably some kind of Celtic) folklore mixed with a world that felt very make-believe
Not dissimilar in feeling with Elfland by F. Warrington, but there the characters feel "real", while here they have little depth; the beautiful, almost mythical like style kept me turnng th
