And later, when I could have been still wondering who Sathra was, I knew about the Banshee Sisterhood. So, when Sathra’s been rescued, for example, before I’d had time to decide whether or not to trust her, I’d been told the legend of the devil child. Where I could have had the pleasure of discovering things, I was told them instead. What could have surprised me was frequently spelled out. And I knew too much because I was told too much and most definitely too soon.
From the blurb onwards – which acts as its own spoiler – I knew too much. Any child would identify with Sathra and with the dilemma she faces, which I won’t tell you about because it would spoil your fun.Īnd therein lies my ‘but’. A great character as well from a kid’s point of view, sparky, spiky and full of life – which she’s trying to hang onto at all costs. She turns out to be a trickier character than he first realizes. Niall finds a banshee, Sathra, down a wishing-well and rescues her. With my kid’s head on I loved Banshee in the Well.
