suponjipotato 's review for:

The Brothers Lionheart by Astrid Lindgren
3.0

A good book, the stakes feel real. The character development is non-existent until the end. The burden of imagination of the world falls onto the reader. The themes of death and suicide resurface only at the end and everything in the middle feels like fodder.
The most notable part is the fact that how it handles the theme of suicide but the blending of reality and dream, but even then that theme manifests itself so infrequently it's hard to recommend it for that alone.
