ORIGINAL REVIEW:
It took me a while to get emotionally invested, which isn’t ideal for a 200 page book.
The last third was worth the wait though.
EDIT:
I reread this as a Finnish translation, which was so worth it. As a result, I changed my rating from a 3.5 to a 4.
My review of the translation:
Pari ensimmäistä lukua tuntui vähän kankeilta, mutta mulla oli sama ongelma englanninkielisen alkuperäisteoksen kanssa, joten en usko sen johtuneen käännöksestä. Ylipäätään propsit kääntäjälle, tykkäsin.
