Still, I did like it for the eventual macro-plot of it being a twist on the folktale of trolls stealing maidens to take into their mountain halls. I just wish that aspect were more of the focus rather than 140 pages of "oh no my weird dog has worms" and then 100 more pages of "my weird dog is jealous of my lovers" before anything approaching a climax (heh).

Kirjan henkilöhahmoissa parasta oli ehkä se, että ne erottuivat toisistaan selkeästi omina persooninaan. Eniten pidin päähenkilön ja peikon vuorovaikutuksesta (yhtä kohtausta lukuunottamatta, mutta ei nyt mennä siihen). Tarina on sinänsä ihan mielenkiintoinen ja esikoisteokseksi tässä oli hyvä kiroitustyyli. Joistakin juonellisista kohdista olin vähän eri mieltä, ja ne olisi voitu toteuttaa paremmin. Lisäksi loppu ja hahmojen kohtalot jäivät vähän avoimeksi, se on mielipidekysymys tykkääkö sellaisesta vai ei.
Arvosanan antaminen on vähän hankalaa, itse tarina oli suhteellisen mielenkiintoinen, ja kuten mainitsin, pidin päähenkilön ja peikon vuorovaikutuksesta enimmäkseen. Ehkä pisteitä pudottaa “lainausten” tarpeellisuus ja mielenkiintoisuus, ja jotkin juonelliset seikat jotka tuntuivat vähän turhalta mässäilyltä.
