Although I did like this prequel more than I expected to, I still wasn’t “hooked.” I was bugged a bit by the use of nei and ja... Sometimes dialectal quirks can work, but for some reason this one didn’t. I was also a bit hesitant to swallow the “there is a boy you’re destined to be with” plot device. I was, however, intrigued by the idea of “shadow walking” and its positive/negative aspects, although the seductive villain came off as a bit cliche. I will admit, I’m curious about where this will go, but part of me fears it will fall prey to predictability.3.5 stars. It was a fun and quick novella, that got me started into the series. I immediately bought the first book, after a few free chapters contained here, which I guess made it a very efficient novella at that! :)Fun and quick, kind of mysterious. The main character, Astrid, can't find her voice. There is lots of magic and inner torture. A battle between her inner light and inner darkness. I'm looking forward to this first book!
What do You think about The Light Keepers (2012)?
Suspenseful, thrilling and mysterious enough to keep me guessing.Interesting magic system too.

Did not like it, couldn't get into it. It was a struggle to even try and continue reading it.
