👀 Shesheshen on kauhistuttava hirviö. Lajinsa ainoa. Pelätty, vainottu ja voittamaton. Kunnes jokin muuttuu. Shesheshen rakastuu. 👀

Sadunomainen hirviöromanssi, jossa päähenkilö on muodonmuuttaja. Mitä muuta enää edes tarvitaan?

Mie tosiaan yllätyin siitä, miten sadunomainen tunnelma tässä on. Tuli vähän samat fiilikset kuin T. Kingfisherin Thornhedgesta. Pahikset ovat karikatyyrisen pahismaisia, mutta yllättävällä tavalla. Miljöö on perussatufantasian metsikkö ja kylä, mutta ah niin idyllinen.

Shesheshen on virkistävän erilainen päähenkilö, jonka oikea olemus on jonkinlainen alkulimalöllerö, mutta joka pystyy muuttamaan itsensä soveltuvaan muotoon keräämällä luita sun muita itselleen tukirangaksi.

Juonellisesti tää on ehyt paketti ja kielellisesti nopealukuinen. Hauska, mutta samalla syviä teemoja sivuava. Viihdyin!

Suosittelen, jos tykkäät:
🦋 satumaisuudesta
🫀 vähän ällöistä kuvauksista
🖤 romansseista ilman 🌶
