This was the most unusual and pleasantly unexpected surprise I’ve had in the world of dystopian books for a very long time. I binged it from cover to cover, but since I listened to it I guess it’s probably more; from start to end. After one sleepless night and one day (ignoring all my duties) I can now confidently say that this book was worth it! Everything from the classic catastrophe dystopian beginning, the confusing and yet suspenseful emotional middle, to the unexpected magical end, had me very pleasantly surprised! As an avid consumer of dystopian sci-fi, I’m rarely surprised anymore. Neither by the plot nor the ideas, but this book intrigued me with the idea from the first sentence. Because how on earth do you explain the shadowless? Once I’ve given up on rationalizing and trying to make sense of it all, and realized that everyone had many different names (a bit confusing when listening) but once I got the hang of it I just relaxed enjoyed this dystopian surprise.

Spännande med oväntad slut. Bra uppläsare.
