It's a rattling good read. An urban adventure that gripped me for all 380 pages. However, it's not perfect. The characters are poorly described. I only cared about Rion and the dog. There was no description as to why the Morris dancers believed what they believed. Jake was a kind of lovable hero but I didn't understand why as he had no back story at all. Nicky - the same - I wanted to know more about her but got no insight into her character at all.
Still, an entertaining read from start to finish.

Fun enough but I'm not going to remember this in two weeks
