Every world has its monsters. I've been watching the news and yours is no exception.

Ava and Jules are disgruntled workers at LitenVärld. They dated for a while, but Ava's rearranged her life to avoid her ex; encounters with them are too awkward. So she's less-than-delighted when Jules turns up on her shift. When a customer goes missing
through a maskhål (Swedish for wormhole)
. When Jules volunteers to track down the errant grandmother and Ava is voluntold to join them. These dysfunctional not-quite-friends journey through wild and dangerous landscapes on their employer's mission.

Fun, if a little slapdash. I guess I can't tell why we didn't get a novel? I didn't quite believe the relationship backstory and botched intimacy. I wish we had scenes of Jules and Ava's past tryst, to see their incompatibility in context, not just announcements of it. The quickly shifting settings could also have been more fun with even more details.

Good concise, fun, sci-fi story! I like the universe building, and I hope there are more stories in the series!

There is so much I wished this book was that it just wasn't. I loved the premise and idea of it but didn't feel that the book delivered on it. 

My main critique is it couldn't feel anything we were being told. For example, I had a hard time believing the main characters' relationship/break-up in that I couldn't feel that they had loved each other and the emotions of their breakup. They kept taking actions to show they were trying to avoid each other but I couldn't feel it.

That kind of pervaded everything. I couldn't feel that some creepy characters were creepy or strong characters were strong.

It's not a bad story and was certainly interesting but felt a little flat somehow.
