A rich mix of dark forests, mythical creatures, glamour, hunger and cruelty make this a strange and compelling read. An innocent troll is seduced out of the forest by his fascination with humans and this is the story of his attempts to live with them. It took a few chapters to settle down to the journey, but from then on I was completely hooked. It's a long trek, but stick with it for the beauty of this world and the insights that it offers.
