This is the second book I've read by Larson (not counting her adaptation of A Wrinkle in Time) and I don't connect to her storytelling very well. Her plotting and pacing always feel a little off-kilter, her characters slightly opaque. She's a clever and thoughtful writer, just not my thing. ( ) This is great - sophisticated story-telling, good characters, nice atmosphere. There should be hundreds or thousands more comics this good - this should be the mainstream. That said, its worth noting that it is a YA book, and the characters are mostly teens - people who are allergic to that kind of thing may want to steer clear. But if they do, they're missing a very fine comic, streets ahead of most 'mature' comics currently out there. If I had one slight criticism it's that some of the characters can look a touch too similar (although the characters that are meant to look alike I had no trouble telling apart, despite their similarity). Otherwise, this is excellent stuff. This is a strange story. Not bad-strange, just different, and it's really nice to read something completely different. I like the juxtaposition of historical Nova Scotia and modern day, the threads of gold through both narratives, the small and strange powers. It's a pretty dark tale, though, with no definitive answers in the end, and in that it is true to many family histories. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
