The Magical Creatures Of Norway -Troll
(This is the full title of the book, but unfortunately I'm not able to change it here on Goodreads)
Finally a book about Troll for adults. I'm Norwegian, but I had no idea there were so many different types of troll, different in looks (some are reallycute) , sizes, diet etc I enjoyed this book so much, and if you enjoy reading about the fauna, love fairytales and think magical creatures deserve their place in history, you should read this book.
I know AI pictures are controversial to some, and the book has both photos and som AI pictures, but they're so well done, and you can tell they worked hard to get the right mood. After all, taking real pictures of troll can be quite tricky. I recommend the book, and as it's in English, it's not just not for Scandinavians.

This review and my feelings of this book will be similar to my previous review of the second book in the series.
The text in this one however was better paced, and more well edited, it did still have those small pesky writing mistakes and punctuation misses.
This book also has a plethora of AI images, again making it cheapen the overall feel of the book. I've got a strong feeling the further two installments in the series will continue the use of AI imaging.
