Lars Kepler - O Pesadelo. 🔪Que leitura complicada, viu? Precisei intercalar entre e-book e audiolivro para conseguir avançar. O começo é bem lento e, diferente do primeiro livro, não achei a escrita tão fluida, em vários momentos a leitura chegou a cansar. 😬A ação só engrena de verdade mais para o final. No meio do livro até existem cenas interessantes (como a perseguição envolvendo Penélope e Björn), mas são pontos isolados. Quando tudo finalmente explode e o grande problema se resolve, aí sim a história fica boa!E o final… intrigante demais. Depois de tudo, fiquei pensando: Joona Linna, o que aconteceu com você? Esse fechamento deixa mais perguntas do que respostas e desperta curiosidade para continuar a série. (Sim, apenas uma frase me fez querer continuar a série Joona Linna, mas não da para dizer, pois pode ser um baita spoiler sobre a vida do Joona).Apesar dos tropeços, é um livro que cresce no final e deixa aquele gosto estranho de “ok, agora fiquei interessada”.
