review 1: 3,5* Príbeh nebol zlý ale vadilo mi že ho zväčšiny rozprávala Minoo - nemala som ju rada, nemám ju rada a pochybujem že si ju niekedy v budúcnosti obľúbim, keby ten príbeh rozprávala napr. Linéa alebo Vanesa, určite by to malo väčšie grády ako teraz - ich časti som si aj najviac ...

review 1: This book was a hard slog for me. It took me forever to read it and not because I hated it or didn't want to finish. I just wasn't that motivated to want to know what happened. I liked the story as a whole just fine by the time I finished it and I'm sure at some point I will fi...

review 1: This book felt like it did a really good job of showing the various aspects of the high school teenager and making them feel real and fleshed out. Also, magic, and it wasn't afraid to kill people. The writing often times feels spare or stark, and I'm not sure if that's due to i...

review 1: I wasn't expecting much when I started reading the book and found the beginning really captivating. What I liked most was the gloomy, creepy atmosphere in Engelsfors and the dire supernatural events happening at the school. All main characters have "psychological depth", which ma...

review 1: Tyvärr inte den ångvält jag förväntade mig. Det är en verklig bladvändare, oavlåtligt spännande och jag slukade Cirkeln snabbt. Det märks att Sara Bergmark Elfgren (en av författarna) även jobbar som manusförfattare. Men bladvändarbiten har också att göra med att språket är så av...

review 1: I really like the idea of witches in a Swedish contemporary small town. The descriptions of the ordinary life in this place ring very true with my experience of even smaller Swedish communities from my adolescence. The take on magic is a mixture of the authors' own invention and ...

review 1: Den var bra men slutet sög ju, vadå Ida dog?! Molly och Selena sa till mig att hon kommer vara med i 'Nyckeln' (tredje boken) men antar att det är som ett spöke så aa... Undrar bara hur hon och Matilda eller vad hon hette ska kontakta de utvalda när de inte har någon metallhäxa l...

review 1: The first long chunk is a bit repetitive, going over and over many details from the 1st two books, but then it gets good and stays good the rest of the book. I liked how you never really can guess exactly how things will turn out. I love all the details and the mixing in of the "...

review 1: Det har varit svårt för mig som vuxen att hitta böcker att sträckläsa. Verkligen jättesvårt. Men de här böckerna om Engelfors bara fastar. Jag antar att det är för att man kan känna igen så mycket av sina egna känslor och erfarenheter även om de inte sett ut så exakt under tonårs...

review 1: I started to really enjoy this halfway into it, and I feel like it dragged on a bit sometimes and it didn't necessarily have to be a book of 800 pages. But the second half of it was pretty great and it only got better the more you read. The ending was beautiful and it wrapped up ...
