I loved this book and can't wait for the next one in the series, hoping there's not too long to wait! The story telling by J C Harvey is amazing. It just made me imagine that I was sat around a warm fire with candles lit and someone retelling the story. The characters are well written and easy to imagine and the storyline keeps you wanting to turn the page to see what happens to Jack next. The story covers different periods of time but is easy enough to follow. I like the way it is not only Jack you get to follow through time but many of the other main characters too. The author has a great style of writing giving enough detail to really set the scene. It's also written in such a way that it's never boring or a chore to read despite the books massive size. I also enjoyed the little pictures and quotes setting the scene for each chapter. Definitely worth a read!
