Book Review: Why I Let my Hair Grow Out

Why I Let My Hair Grow Out by Maryrose Wood

I stopped reading this book (featuring an incredibly obnoxious sixteen-year-old narrator) after a talking horse named Samhain was referred to as "Sam."

...yeah.

That's an error I can forgive in ordinary people or new pagans, but not in authors, especially ones who have theoretically researched ancient Ireland fairly extensively in order to write the book.

I think you need to expand on why it was so bad, for us ordinaries!
The word Samhain is pronounced sah-win.
...at least now I will not end up embarrassed trying to pronounce certain BPAL names.
Haha, don't they have pronunciation guides?
No. But they should. I guess I can start adding pronunciation information to Scent Scribbles.
