This is book 2 in J. Ardian Lee's story about 18th century Scotland. Not having read book 1 yet, I can not comment on continuity of the story line between them. It was fairly robust in my opinion. Drawing known elements of how life was lived at that time well into the fantasy aspects of dealing with the wee folk. In many ways, this reminded me of Harry Turtledove's historical fiction works (the few I have read) where plausibility plays a large part in the direction of the story. As an avid fan of Sci-Fi and Fantasy, I had hoped for a larger part for the magic in the story. The author, however, paints the characters strongly enough that I can connect to the Hero, Dylan when he is pushed to the limits.
