Content warning Rostskogen; general structure and thematic comments
Once I accepted that this series is meant to be trashy fun with plot holes and OP characters and overly serendipitious reincorporation I really got into it and am looking forward to book four.
It does the same thing I complained about with the Holly series but even worse: It gives even more detail on the climaxes and secrets of the anteceding books and even less info on who the characters are and how they know each other. Who is "Sofie"? It wasn't that long ago since I read Glasmannen but I have no idea; and here it says that she and Hill have been an item for years?!
The structure of the books are the same and there's always an urbex theme but the environments are always different and they're a real treat. Short, fun-to-read chapters that capture a sense of place, mood, and urgency. Will def read book 4 and most likely the rest of the series
