La Maison au milieu de la mer céruléenne, tome 1

Dette var en morsom og oppfriskende bok med morsomme figurer og et fint budskap. Den var lettlest og egentlig aldri kjedelig. Historien var likevel noe vel forutsigbar og jeg syntes personlighetsutviklinga til hovedpersonen kunne ha vært noe tydeligere. Jeg hadde likt om han hadde vært mye mer usympatisk og negativt innstilt fra begynnelsen, i stedet for forsiktig og deprimert, men det er kanskje også hva jeg skulle ha forventet meg. Jeg synes egentlig også at den var cirka femti sider for lang, men det var en bok som det var verdt å lese for å oppleve de forskjellige figurene mer enn selve handlingen.

Jeg er glad jeg leste den, men det er neppe en bok jeg kommer til å anbefale til så mange.

This is about outgrowing the oppressive structures you've been supporting, and working to tear them down.

Also I think the message is "you can always choose to be a weirdo and live with the weirdos", which makes me very happy.

Yeah I like this one. Much more than I liked Under the Whispering Door, even though that was also nice.

I don't know what I was expecting when I picked this book up, but it turned out to be a charming gay romance story but also so much more.

Sweet romantic queer dramedy with charming magical children. My only two complaints are that the general course of the plot was predictable from quite near the beginning and that the Underlying Message was conveyed entirely without subtlety. It's a good message, mind you, but I prefer the moral of the story to be offered rather than being hot over the head with it. But it's a fun and quick read and I definitely recommend it.
