And Mons Kallentoft does it again!
I bless the day I entered the library, first stumbled upon Midwinter Blood and decided to pick it up, because I would have missed this incredible series otherwise.
The writing is just beautiful and evocative, the characters are incredibly fascinating, the plot keeps getting thicker and thicker. Really, everything just draws you in and makes it impossible for you to let go.
I know I can't rest until I have all the pieces of this puzzle and I bet you won't be able to do it either.
And the thoughts and emotions going through my mind? Amazing!
I don't even know why I keep being surprised by the author's ability to shoot straight to my heart and make me feel all these painfully wonderful things and connect so readily with the people and what they go through.
It just feels that everything hits so close to home, even when I don't have necessarily experienced the situation myself. I guess I put myself in the characters' shoes, especially Malin's, and that's why everything feels more real and painful.
Malin is one really awesome human being. She has flaws like everybody else and she recognizes she should do a lot of things differently, particularly when we're talking about her daughter, but she tries to do her best. Isn't that what's truly important?
Also, she's very unique. She has this vision of the world, herself, other people and everything surrounding her, that makes you think she is not blind to the truth. She sees everything and stops to think and process everything she apprehends.
That doesn't mean she wants to see what she sees or that she doesn't sometimes acts impulsively. She does. It's just the way she thinks and acts that make her such an interesting character.
I hope there are great things ahead for her, considering the hard stuff she went through and the new developments in her life. She deserves to be happy.
Bravo! Can't wait to read the following books.
