My coworker recommended this book when I asked for something outside my standard fare (mostly romance novels of late), and I'm glad I went in without knowing too much. I adored experiencing Odd's perspective as he travels through life.
Fascinatingly written, with touches of foreshadowing throughout. I tend to turn off the predict-what-happens part of my brain while reading and just let the story wash over me, but there were a few times when I put the book down for a day or two because I feared what might happen to Odd and his friends, his chosen family. While there were some tense moments and devastating consequences, I'm glad I kept reading.
