I can’t wait for Wicky’s story next!Ĭontent Warning: vague mentions of plot points If you are going to go to the trouble of writing a book in another country, spend some time learning from those who live there, otherwise you run the risk of being incredibly disrespectful…Īside from those details it was great to see all of our favourite characters again and see Bel get some closure. The “terrors” existed in Aboriginal culture and as such it would’ve been respectful to have consulted with an Elder about this. Little things like that which brought me out of the story but given the story is paranormal they are really not important. College is University in Australia so an Aussie cop is not going to refer to a uni student as a college kid. A few things annoyed me about this - koalas in swamp land is highly unlikely (they don’t live in tropical rainforests) and they don’t live in the Northern Territory either. I do wish authors would pay more attention to detail when setting books in a country other than their own though. I love these characters and the story was interesting.
