Moonstone: The Boy Who Never Was by Sjón

maagi's review against another edition

Erikoinen teos. Nopeasti luin, en tiedä, olisinko saanut enemmän irti jos olisin lukenut hitaammin. Kaunista tekstiä ja intohimolla kirjoitettu! Kuitenkin jotain jäi puuttumaan…

A quietly heartfelt and ‘simple’ (straightforward) story. It’s a quick yet expansive read
- and I added Red Milk by the same author to my tbr afterwards bc I’m intrigued to read more

The opening scene was certainly bold. 
A lot happened but it seemed a bit too short to fully appreciate any of it or get overly attached to characters. But strangely I quite enjoyed the ‘not really dwelling on anything for too long’ aspect. It felt like quick glances into their lives. 
Strange book but good? It was somehow mainly vibes but then also plot? Idk
