This was a great read, it wasn't too fast, the characters were relatable, (especially the main character) and the plot was awesome. The pieces in the story fit together awesomely. I also ship Shadlok x William, but sadly, I think I am alone in these thoughts. (The book was also slightly dark, in the sense that there were parts that made me feel kind of sick, in a grossed out way.) Set in a medieval English abbey by an author who cares about setting, character, and period details, this novel still lands squarely in fantasy, as an occasional hob or fairy (some benevolent, some not) and even an angel share the wintery landscape with Will, an orphan who lives at the abbey in exchange for his work, the kind healer Brother Snail & the surly cook, Brother Martin, as well as the Prior & other characters who live there. In the nearby woods there is ancient magic and a mystery buried many years ago which Will must help unfurl. Not only is this story terrific, it was a pleasure to read an author who enjoys precise language and who goes to lengths to create the feel of a 14th century monastery. There is a helpful glossary at the end which explains the cycles of the monks' days as well as terms no longer in common use. Highly recommended.
