One of the things I love about Setterfield’s novels is how atmospheric they are. I was completely immersed in the setting and could picture the Swan inn, farm, and the river like I was there. I enjoyed several of the interconnecting storylines lines (I really loved anything that had to do with the Ockwell’s who owned the inn, Rita the nurse, Robert who owns a nearby farm, and Ben who really is the hero of the ending/book in my opinion) and I loved the subtle fairy tale aspects.
With so many different characters and storylines I felt like a few parts needed to be a little more hashed out and I was a little confused about Robin and I didn’t get Henry’s backstory/why he ended up at the swan. This is definitely a book you need to take your time with so you’re able to keep all the characters and plot points straight but the ending is worth slowing down.
