Shadows of the Short Days by Alexander Dan Vilhjálmsson

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


I have learned over time that I prefer characters that are at least a little bit heroic. I understand the preference and try to keep it in mind when I’m reading books containing anti-hero types.

I don’t think I would classify this characters in this book as anti-hero types. I would classify them as horrifyingly narcissistic. They can’t get past their own hang-ups and it costs them, and all of the people around them everything.

I really struggled with this book. I wanted to like it, and I just couldn’t stand these characters. I liked different world building and different myths, but it wasn’t enough for me.
