Kasvosokeus tuntui alihyödynnetyltä, eikä sitä juuri selitetty mitenkään. Päähenkilö Eleanor oli aluksi äärimmäisen pelokas ja neuroottinen, kunnes yhtäkkiä muuttui rohkeaksi ja tarmokkaaksi. Muidenkaan hahmojen persoonat eivät olleet johdonmukaisia, ja hahmot olivat muutenkin pinnallisia. Osa kirjasta on kirjoitettu päiväkirjan muotoon. Tekstissä ei ole juuri käytetty nimiä, vaikka ne eivät varmasti tule yllätyksenä kenellekään. Sen sijaan puhutaan sekavasti Hänestä ja Hänestä. Teksti tuntuu viimeistelemättömältä: lauseet ovat lyhyitä ja töksähteleviä, ja ainakin yhdessä kohdassa oli käytetty väärää nimeä. Se, mitä menneisyydessä tapahtui oli erittäin helppo arvata. Miksi Anuškan persoonallisuus muuttui niin radikaalisti? Mielestäni siinä ei ollut mitään järkeä. Kaikesta päätellen Eleonorin isoäiti oli aika kammottava, ja siksi Eleonorin käytös kirjan lopussa tuntuu omituiselle. Eleanorista läytetään välillä Victoria-nimeä. Turhaa ja sekavaa. Ainakin minusta tuntui tosi oudolta, että 1,5 h matkan päässä Tukholmasta on sellainen paikka, missä voi tulla niin paha lumimyrsky että ulos ei voi mennä, kännykät eivät kuulu ja lähin naapuri on niin kaukana että sinne ei voi kävellä.

Now here’s where it lost a star for me. While the ending is a good, solid one, I didn’t have that lingering spooky feeling that I look for with a good thriller.
Overall, this was a good one and I definitely recommend it for spooky season 👻. Also, if you enjoyed Rock, Paper, Scissors by Alice Feeney, definitely check this one out!
