I’m pretty sure I’ve read everything that Jodi Taylor has had published, and I think that this series about Elizabeth Cage is my favourite (along with the Frogmorton Farm series)! It has the typical Taylor humour and great characters with lots of depth of emotion and gripping plot and the added element not of time travel in this series but of magical realism/paranormal/supernatural stuff/mythology come to life – Urban fantasy, I guess (does everything need to be labelled or slotted into a genre?).
Elizabeth’s character is an endearing mix of lack of self confidence and ballsy girl power (when she let’s it out). It has a timeless nostalgic feel and I can’t wait for the next instalment
In this novel Elizabeth is allowed to remember some big scary things about her past that had been magically hidden from her before to shield her from the pain of knowing and has to decide whether to remember or forget again. I would recommend reading the previous books in the series first.
