3.5

I give this book 3.5 stars because I wasn’t very emotionally attached to the characters and the whole reason Mia goes to the red church wasn’t convincing enough for me. I just didn’t quite care. I originally wanted to give this book a 3 star review but there is quite a nice plot twist at the end. So 3.5 it is.

3.0

Despite what this extraordinarily pretentious narrator keeps telling us, both the plot and the protagonist were almost painfully transparent in its forced gruesomeness. If Kristoff had let the world and his prose speak for itself, I would have loved the gloomy atmosphere of the lurking shadows under the mountains. Now, and especially with the distracting amount of footnotes, this effect got buried under the evidence of his efforts.
Still, the skill was definitely there, and I am happy to give the rest of the series a chance to catch up on the promises that weren't met here.
