Following a family crisis, Eoin Ryan finds himself working in a soul-crushing call centre under a malevolent, bullying supervisor. It's there that he receives an unusual offer: to teach history at a remote island commune. With nothing to lose, the generally reserved academic quickly accepts.
Eoin leaves Dublin, a city in the throes of a climate emergency, and travels west, only to join a settlement cloaked in secrecy, where the inhabitants harbour dangerous ideas.
When Eoin unravels the true purpose of his calling, he begins to question his decision to join the settlement. But on a rain-soaked island in western Ireland, surrounded by society’s misfits, he’ll soon realise that a change of heart can be murder.

Mehso-so

Archaeology graduate Eoin Ryan leaves his soul-crushing call centre job for a position as a teacher at a remote island commune. Mainly self-sustaining, the group sounds like the perfect solution to his problems, but if something sounds too good to be true.....

First of all, I thought the plot & setting were intriguing & having studied archaeology & history, an MC from that background & the bits about Irish mythology were interesting. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf One issue for me though was that the pace was far too slow, for large parts of the book nothing much really happened, but the real problem was the frequent conversations which went something like: other character gives a bit of info to Eoin , Eoin replies “Interesting/ Fascinating/I see what you mean“. For much of the time the conversation actually went nowhere in terms of plot development & it became rather tedious & made the reading experience 7d
OutsmartYourShelf stilted instead of naturally flowing.

I did enjoy it enough to finish reading it & parts of it were interesting. The too slow pace & stilted conversations were the only downsides. 3.25⭐

TWs: violence, animal death.

My thanks to #NetGalley & publishers, Croghan, for the opportunity to read an ARC.
