When an author can draw you in to where you feel as if you are immersed in the story, then you know they've written something amazing. Shadows of the Short Days is a well written and interesting dark epic urban fantasy. It does have horrible outcomes for several characters. Those outcomes make sense and tell a much larger story, setting the stage for subsequent novels. I'm not sure anyone can write a revolution happening in their characters world and NOT have devastating conflicts, internally and externally for each character. I'm looking forward to reading the next book by Alexander Dan Vilhjálmsson and see what journey he takes us readers on next.
A note: Be patient with yourself as you read this novel. There are Icelandic terms that readers will come across frequently. It's okay if you don't know how to pronounce them or understand them. There is a helpful pronunciation guide at the beginning, use it.
