Thanks to the care the author gave to descriptions, it was easy to visualize in my mind's eye the people, settings and the nature depicted in the story.
Sharda and Fin (Finella) were delightful. They were opposites in most everything: coloring, manners, origins, education. I was happy they found each other, yet, to be completely honest, I didn't feel their romance. They became good friends, but, in my opinion, the author didn't manage to convey perfectly the spark between them, not enough to make me believe in their passion and romantic connection.
Sadly, I also struggled with the language a bit. Some of the wording and phrasing were heavily old English, so to speak, which created some difficulty in fluidity for me. I'm sure that most probably other readers would consider the language a point in favor of the story, though.
As a whole, I enjoyed reading this book, especially being at Balintore Castle and celebrating Hogmanay with its charming inhabitants.
