Stina Jackson has a wonderful way with her words, that envelope you completely and carry through all of the haunting woods, abandoned huts and cold marshy fields. Her descriptions of Lelle's travels and feelings as he is searching for his daughter, feel more like memoirs than fiction. All that make this book feel very real.Scary in a way that loneliness and darkness gives you at night, when you indeed here more noises than you'd want to, until your own rushing blood is all you hear.
Very well written, and masterfully translated Scandinavian thriller of monsters under beds, that hide between us.
It was easy to switch between teenage Meja's world and Lelle's wanderings; and unlike a few, I didn't mind there not being Chapers. I think it urged me to keep on reading.
Overall it was very engrossing and fairly quick read.
