Selkies are my absolute favourite UK folklore creature and I'm super psyched that I get to review an amazing book about them! Let me know what you thought if. THE BLUE SALT ROAD is the second of a series of three stand-alone novellas, published by Gollancz and illustrated by Bonnie Helen Hawkins (cover art by Sue Gent), which draw loosely upon the Child Ballads for their inspiration. Set in the same Nine Worlds universe as the RUNEMARKS series, they deal with tradition, change, the power of stories, and the often uneasy relationship between the world of the Folk (that is, humankind) and that of the other races – gods, shape-changers, faerie. The Blue Salt Road is a journey you should take ― Starburst A perfect read for a waterside afternoon with her graceful language and magical phrasing, Harris conveys the enchantment of an old tale while imparting new lessons about change, betrayal, and forgiveness in this refreshing take on the age-old powers of attraction between the supernatural and the merely human ― The Star.
