Probably my favourite in the Dark Iceland series, as far as the plot goes. I'm marking it down because the quality of the writing wasn't as good as in the previous books. This one sounded underedited to me: there are many details that make the narration feel disjointed (e.g. backstory repeated multiple times as if it was completely new; characters who have been connected in earlier pages, but later on have never heard of each other), and the frequency they crop up with risks to become annoying.
I enjoyed seeing characters from the previous books appear again, especially someone who was in the first instalment and opened up a promising storyline the author hadn't followed up on since. In many ways, it feels like the series and Ari Thor's development are coming full circle, and so this book is a very fitting end to the cycle. But I've grown so attached to the character, I'd still love to know what happens next. It's a shame there may not be another book to explore that, especially since I already know the author's Hidden Iceland series is not for me.
