At first I found this book a bit predictable (I mean, the title gives away some of the direction of the story) but I like how it evolved beyond that and how the larger story fell into place. The moody Scottish coastal landscape was a beautiful setting and the themes spoke to me (reincarnation, nature-based spirituality, kinship and community, good vs. evil). There is one part of the story that I think could have been more interesting, but overall I'm glad I picked this up.
