Considering that people are not and have never been an homogeneous block of thought in which every single person believes the same and acts the same it could be argued that some of them would be outside what was considered to be “the norm”. That was quite a relief, considering I adored the book most of the way through, and it had already gone down a bit in my estimation by the final chapter.The story is peppered with aspects of fairytales, myths and legends, making the travellers' journey chillingly atmospheric. A daring new mystery written in reverse chronology—read the “ending” on page 1 and then go back, day by day, to the shocking beginning!
