This is from an inexperienced author, and it shows here. This story had potential that didn't pan out. Maybe his next one will be better.

Thanks very much for the review copy!!

This book had much potential. Sadly, the first 75% proved to be very superficial and uninteresting. Astrid was a truly unlikeable character; I was annoyed with her behaviour, her character - anything about her, really. She acted like a little princess and I am not overly fond of characters like hers when reading books. 
The last part of the book however, was very good. The mystery of the doorbell, the nordic mythology that had been added to the book... It almost felt as if I was reading two different books for those final 25% and I enjoyed the ending very much.

The story description said that this book would be similar to Divergent and Stranger Things, which is why I was so interested in reading this story. I didn't really get that comparison with what I was reading. Reading the story was a bit confusing for me and it kind of seemed disorganized as if the pacing was off. The characters were kind of interesting but I wasn't that invested in them. Overall, the story was okay but somewhat lackluster for that I was expecting based on the book description.
