I liked this book a lot too! And now I am kind of mad that the water horses who turn into people like man-eating selkies didn't make it in the book, either as a thing that happens in the book or a folk tale, because that is probably the only thing in the world that would have made me love the book even more. More folk tales! More interesting customs about how to control the water horses! More time spent roaming around Thisbe getting to know the island!
This book would make such an amazing movie. All the scenery porn! The wind whipping Puck's hair in her face as she stands on the cliffs looking down at the water horses practicing on the beach! (Animating the water horses might be an issue.) The firelight flickering as everyone swears their oath on the rock!
Oh, and I kind of wanted a recipe for November cakes. They sounded amazing.
Also, I totally had mixed feelings about the ending. Obviously it's good for Sean that Corr decided to stay with him, given that Corr is the only solid emotional attachment that he's had for years and probably if Corr left Sean would just sit around and mope all the time until Puck threw something at him. But on the other hand, I kind of wanted Corr to go into the water and be freeeeeeeeee.
