I'm glad I came back to this book. I really think the first time I tried to read it I just wasn't in the mood for a book like this. It's slow to start but it does reel me in, and I really liked the ending. I'll probably pick up the rest at some point. 

I would say this book is more for older teens or young adults than children, just due to the older style of writing and the language used. I think it'd be a great book to read to a child, though.

Minor: Animal death

I was so sad that Hoeg had to die. That little creature was my favorite.
