selfiegrandpa 's review for:

The Night Guest by Hildur Knútsdóttir
2.0
mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

I felt like this book had an interesting concept and I liked the writing style. It jumps right into the story and the short chapters really help the pacing. That being said, for such a short book it manages to be slightly all over the place. I wish that Knútsdóttir had chosen to focus the story more on one singular problem in the character's life instead of trying to cast a large net over multiple issues. The end also left something to be desired, felt a little too "and then they woke up". 

(Which I admit I seem to have this problem with a lot of endings, I think I'm just too picky.)

I feel I don't really have much to say about this, it was unfortunately unmemorable in the end.
