Naondel

”The prose has both airy lightness and solid weight; a tangible physicality that is entirely convincing. The novel is at once contemporary and timeless. Its unwavering feminism is resolutely modern, resonating with a range of texts from Ursula Le Guin's 2001 Tales from Earthsea to Disney's Frozen. At the same time, it feels authentically ancient and mythic. At the conclusion of her story, Maresi observes: It feels strange to think of my words next to books I have read so many times These words will still be here long after I am gone. The same may prove true of Maresi itself.“

”Naondelia kelpaa vertailla mihin tahansa saman lajityypin romaaniin, myös maailmalla. Tarina on kerrottu vetävästi ja teos on sommiteltu huolellisesti, se on tumma ja monitulkintainen tavalla, joka onnistuu silti pitämään langat tiukasti yhdessä.“
