The Bird Tribunal

It's not often that a book fails to engage me, in fact I'm usually so engrossed I haven't a clue what's going on in the real world. The Bird Tribunal unfortunately, did not engage me.
It was well written and it was atmospheric. There was an air of menace throughout. For all that, it was boring. Two main characters and a handful of cameos, none of whom were likeable. Very little action apart from gardening and a spot of fishing. The most exciting thing to happen was Allis getting attacked by a seagull.
As for the big reveal that, according to the blurb, would leave me breathless, it didn't. It was so predictable I knew before I was halfway through how it would end.
I wanted to love this book, I really did, but it just wasn't for me. 3⭐ for effort though.
