This was really great! The themes it explored were fantastic, and I actually really enjoyed the slow pacing and gradual reveal of plot. It was refreshing, when so frequently I read books that almost rush to the finish line. 
I sadly had to take a star away, and actually it had nothing to do with the writing. Translation is an art form, and at its heart is about transforming the meaning and atmosphere from one language into another. While reading this, the cadence of the English was off, and I could tell I was reading a Nordic author’s writing. The translator missed a trick here, and at times I almost wanted to shake them because I could feel what the author was doing behind the English.
