In two minds about this book so far. I am encouraged by all the 5 star reviews and I do really want to see where the plot goes- Roger spirits, wise women, stories and magic are all fascinating. However I am struggling to get past the animal abuse- drowning dogs, feeding pigs rotten potatoes and calling them stupid for looking at the character.

I have given this book a few chances but decided now to put to one side for a short time.
I desperately want to find out who the little girl is but aside from the animal cruelty, this book is so slow that yesterday I forgot I was even reading a book.

Can’t decide if I want to continue with this book.
I am interested in the plot- the mentions of river spirits, magic and stories- but drowning dogs in the river is not only cruel but needless to the plot.
And what kind of psychopath says ‘table pigs’ and ‘a sweet tasting small one’??
