The Magic Apostrophe

I was quite spellbound by this lengthy tale of Welsh witch-clan warfare. Jenny Sullivan has written it at such a cracking pace and with such good humour that I was swept along, even though Tan'ith, the feisty narrator, proclaims '... somehow magical things are a lot easier to believe if you have a healthy dolop of Celtic blood galloping through your veins'. The villains are mostly comic-book but the plot makes up for that and Tan'ith (notice the apostrophe) is tangibly real. I predict a sequel.
