Thank you to NetGalley and Brigids Gate Press for the ARC. My opinions are my own.
Do you like folk tales with a little horror on the side? Do you like Nordic themes and settings? Do you like unexplainable events and creatures? Then this might be for you.
I have sat on my thoughts for a while about this book, and I have come to the conclusion that it is an okay book with a few gold nuggets hidden between the cracks. The stories are usually fine, if a little bland sometimes. Sometimes we get satisfying endings, other times I was left disappointed. This is what you should expect of a collection.
I think the mosquito story and the first story with the little "devil child" were the best ones. They made me feel just a little more than the others.
Okay book, okay stories. Might not have been meant for me, but maybe it is for you. 3 stars.
