Reviews

[Neil · Rating 3 out of 5]

Hmmm....ar y cyfan, ffeindiais i'r llyfr braidd yn siomedig ac yn ddi-fflach. Sdim lot yn digwydd tan y pumdeg tudalen ola', ac mae'r nofel yn gadael nifer o gwestiynau heb eu hateb (yn null traddodiadol Mihangel Morgan). Ambell i gymeriad yn ddibwynt a licen i 'di gweld yr awdur yn ffocysu ar hanesion cymeriadau megis Will a Popi yn fwy.
