The Twisted Tree

☆ really dug the general vibes and atmosphere
☆ enjoyed the norwegian setting and learning bits and pieces about the language and culture
☆ huge stig fan, personally
✗ was not a fan of the romance in this, i wish it was a platonic relationship
✗ there were a few insensitive moments but nothing too extreme (as far as im aware)
✗ pacing was a tiny bit too slow for me but im being nitpicky
✗ “girls who are different” 🚩 
— i think this book would be great for people who are nostalgic for pjo, sadly that isn't me
— was not a fan of the audiobook narrator
— unsure if i'll try book two
— also can somebody PLEASE tell me what it mean when “[character]'s face darkens” like what exactly does that look like!
