the trylle series by amanda hocking

UGH! On book two of the Trylle trilogy and the shine is seriously wearing off Finn. Completely loosing interest in him currently.

Which sucks because I really liked him in book one. Now he's all "blah, blah duty." And just keeps leaving and he's honestly starting to get in my last nerve.

Unless he gets his head out of his arse soon, I'd be moving on Wendy.

“Did you think you could treat me like shit at a dance, then sneak into my room in the middle of the night and tell me that I'm a troll with magical powers, and I'd just be like, yeah, that sounds right.”

I’ve had my copy of this book for I don’t even know how long (seriously, its been like 7 years), and I’ve finally gotten around to reading it. 

I quite enjoyed it overall, but I did have a few issues with some aspects of the novel. For one, I found myself to be quite confused by the pacing/timeline. There were times where I wondered how long it had been between events or how things appeared to develop in what seemed like no time at all. In spite of this, or perhaps because of this, the novel makes for a decent, quick summer read. 

Another issue I had may be completely arbitrary, but there were a few instances where the descriptors used didn’t sit well with me. One specific instance was the following; “… in a beautifully elegant borderline-anorexic way.” My problem with the use of anorexia as a descriptor of beauty in this context, may be due to my studies in the field of psychology, but using terms like this in this way, strikes me as almost insensitive and/or problematic to the people who suffer from such conditions. 

My favourite character in this book has to be Tove. Despite the stereotypical mysterious air he is portrayed to have, my interest in his backstory was peaked, and I enjoyed what little of the character development that we did get to see of him. Hopefully, we get to see more in the rest of the trilogy. 

3/5 ★★★☆☆

I really love Loki and Finn, but my hero is Tove. He's so sweet! And he's brave and beautiful too! I love him so much!
