Well, this was disappointing... I read Spring Tide over the summer and loved it so much I was looking forward to the next installment. It was actually very hard to get hold of an English version, so I was very pleased to get my hands on a second-hand copy after months of scouring the internet. Quite frankly, I needn't have bothered. To me, there was nothing interesting in this story so it took me forever to finish the book. The characters I had loved so much in the previous book just irritated me now, but I kept reading because I had read in other reviews that the first half of the book was a bit slow. Given that the pace didn't actually pick up until about the last thirty pages, I really struggled. And so I face a dilemma: given how good the first book was, and how much I disliked the second, is there any point in reading the third?

šis ir viens ārkārtīgi radošs un kolosāls zviedru rakstnieku pāris, ka es saku. detalizēti, izvērsti un cītīgi izstrādāts sižets, lielisks notikumu risinājums.
taču ir viens sīkums. ja sāksi lasīt kādu no viņu divām grāmatām, pirmkārt, sāc ar pirmo, lai iepazītu galvenos varoņus un saprastu kāpēc un kā. un otrkārt - sagatavojies uz aizraujošu laika ritēšanu.
