Ahoy there mateys! Aye, I tried another Helen Harper series.  I can't say I really loved this either.  It was fast reading and I finished the book in one day but the world building is kind of nonsensical and thin.  I also thought Mairi was a stupid fool for basically the whole book.  She survives by dumb luck and not intelligence.  There was insta-lust.  Mairi is mute but that gets magically solved at the end.  There are zombie types.  I didn't enjoy the Scottish slang even though I usually don't mind dialects.  It just seemed overwrought.  The climax was quick and Mairi wins against those she shouldn't be able to cause she is a special snowflake.  I don't know if I should try any of Harper's other series or if I should just reread me favorites. Arrr!
