Journal Entry 4 by swan-scot at Inverness, Scotland United Kingdom on Sunday, January 09, 2011

Taking on holiday to read and release. I'll update with journal entry with my review when I return.

Update: I liked the two stories and how they were interwoven with history, but did not really like the character of Ella. Overall I enjoyed this book, but was a bit distracted by the fable-like aspects of the story, eg the hair changing colour, shared dreams, and wolves. To me, these did not add to the story.

To be released somewhere in the town or the beach during my holiday (assuming I finish it on the plane or during my holiday).

Edited to update the release notes: Left on a rock at the Cucharas Beach in Costa Teguise. I took an early morning dip in the ocean here every morning of our holiday. A wonderful start to the day.

Journal Entry 7 by AnonymousFinder at Carla-de-Roquefort, Midi-Pyrénées France on Sunday, May 08, 2011

An interesting 'holiday' type read covering a period in history not often written about. I found the ending unsatisfactory and left a feeling that the historical story had been made up by the modern day character rather than the author's narative.
