No, Silver Crown is nothing but a boring lesson in medieval Gotland customs and rituals that long periods of time completely took over, and it stopped the murder investigation of. Yawn!

My aversion to this book may be due to my total disinterest in history. It is okay to have with historic features, but if they go page after page must rest be pure magic for it to go home with me.

This is not the case here ... far from it.

When the plot is told it is really interesting and exciting. Then the history lesson takes over completely stop the pace up and then you might as well shut the book, sleep, and take new tag next day. The characters feel contrived and Mary Werner has a marriage crisis. Nothing new on that front either in other words. This is almost a perfect sleeping pill you can get into the world of books ...

    Now I'm finally free! But I really feel that I deserve this time off! :) He has worked much more than the 45 hours per week that we should work. Right now, when summer vacation is spreading and I'm not going to work until the beginning of August, it feels worth it! :) Now here lääääääsas!

    Should be interesting to see what you'll read the books this summer!

    It was the last Jansson I read, it was several years since I read Silver Crown, but was greatly discouraged.

      Nice to hear that I am not alone in my disappointment. Discouraged, I'm not, but I hope for a real boost in the next book in the pipeline!
