Although I am not a great fan of Fantasy, I can see that this is an excellent book. It is set in Elizabethan times and has all the tropes of a historical novel. Our hero, the boy Reynard, is marooned in his uncle's fishing boat, captured by a Spanish galleon, and ultimately shipwrecked on a magical island.

It is full of magical creatures - eaters of time, giant lobsters which crawl on deck, nymphs which rise from the sea and hang from trees.

The characters are well written and well rounded.

Keywords: Fantasy, Historical, Magic, Exciting.

This book is well written and I would recommend it to anyone who loves Fantasy.

Thank you to netgalley and the publisher for sending me a copy of this book.
