 ... to reading this was originally billed as a children’s novel and I have to admit this caused me considerable surprise as this belies its, at times macabre content and descriptions. Imagery is often vivid and the imagination of the settings are often breathtaking. Setting his world on a living sea in which twenty-five archipelagos reside is a masterstroke. With each archipelago representing one hour of the day it allows a fascinating journey across barren landscapes, darkness and light. Candy’s journey is fille...more
