dark funny informative fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.25

After reading a horror book with short stories based on Icelandic legends (What Protects Our Heritage and Other Aberrations by Villimey Mist), I was interested enough to try out a book of Icelandic folklore. The tales here are told with wit, but I found some of them quite boring. I think maybe I was looking for something a bit more creature heavy. 3.25 stars
