Staalo by Stefan Spjut
5.0
All in all I enjoyed reading this book a lot. It wasn't perfect but I couldn't put it down. The way the imps(?) and stallos were depicted was just perfect for me. They were creepy but you couldn't tell if they were good or evil. Not too much was revealed about them at any point. Usually the magic disappears when you find out too much and apparently Spjut knows this.
The way the ending was handled stood out and I didn't quite understand the point of Gudrun's chapters. I have nothing against Gudrun, but why did we get her chapters from the first person's view? It was odd and didn't add anything new to the story. Well, maybe some motherly viewpoint but that didn't carry out well. I would have rather read things from Susso's point of view.
