The ultimate Christmas present came from Periskop magazine, and prominent librarian, Stig Elvis Furset from Norway, who just awarded Odin’s Child ‘Most important YA book of the decade’. (I know, I choked on my cocoa)
«I have no doubt that Odin’s Child is the debut of the decade, and The Raven Rings raised Norwegian fantasy to an international level. To write fantasy, you have to know how to build worlds. Pettersen mastered that art, and her characters remained etched into memory after reading. In addition, she has an impact on young readers that we have to return to Rowling’s heydays to match,» Stig Elvis says to Periskop.
Obviously, I react like any rational person would, by turning his face into ornaments for my Christmas tree, which I intend to admire while playing Elvis and sipping Negroni. Hot damn! Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
