The Casket of Time by Andri Snær Magnason

A queer tale--that's the best word I can put it. The story began in a modern time and suddenly switched to a fairy tale which turned out to be the main story. It took me a while to get used to it, and when things start to get interesting, the story went back to the modern time. The result is jarring.
The fairy tale started quite interesting, but became more and more absurd. Honestly, I don't know what to think about it. It's not a bad tale, but not a great one either.
