Kaoshjerte
Minja er seksten år og våkner forslått og uten hukommelse i blokka hjemme på Stovner. Hun drømmer om hender som trekker henne ned i myra, om jenter med kuhaler, om en mann vakker som underjorden selv - og plutselig husker hun prisen for å ha besøkt sin forbudte mormor den sommeren: Å miste bestekompisen Josef for evig og alltid.
"Kaoshjerte" er en fortelling som balanserer mellom virkelighet og mystikk, og som handler om vennskap, røtter og det å ha tillit til seg selv.

Jeg likte virkelig denne boka. Kanskje 5 stjerner er å ta i litt, men når man tar den for det den er, en YA fantasybok så er den alt den skal være så jeg klarer ikke å finne noe å trekke for. Engasjerende histore, en ny ide basert på norske sagn og litt småklissete kjærlighet uten at selv en voksen mann synes det blir altfor teit, er tilsammen så bra at den kan anbefales til alle som har lyst på en medrivende og enkel bokglede.

I really enjoyed this book.. I never saw what was coming ahead.. There were loads of mystery in trough out the whole story.
Normally I don`t like the female mane characters in books, but I liked Minja.. Or most of the times :P haha but the other times weren`t always her fault..
I like folktales combined into our todays daily life world.. And I hope there will be more stories following on :D

Endelig en sånn mystisk forførende kosesegihjelmed bok. Ekle myrer, merkelige folk, tenåringer som prøver å finne ut hvem de er og ikke minst hvem de andre er. Jeg likte denne. ^^ <3

Slet litt til å begynne med, men det tror jeg kommer av at jeg har lest så mange Fantasybøker i det siste at jeg slet litt med å komme meg bort fra det.
Uansett, når jeg først kom inn i den, så syntes jeg at den ble bare bedre og bedre! Små-spennende bok om huldre og huldrekalder, skrømt og underjorden.
Kan absolutt anbefale denne videre

Sereously, one of the best books I´ve read so far! I loved this book, and just couldn't put it away. Really a book that made many thoughts in my head after reading it, truly amazing. The storyline is so fantastic, and I am in love with the characters. Huge recommend :))

Det eneste som var ok med denne boka var at fra andre halvdel til slutten hadde den et tempo som skapte litt spenning.

I looked very much forward to reading this book since I though the concept seemed very interesting.
In the beginning I struggled with getting into the book. I thought a lot of the way of phrasing things were strange (I can't find the examples I thought of) in addition to English words being used by the author's voice. Personally I believe using words from another language only works when the people are talking and not when used by the author herself. The book's language took some getting used to which made me have a hard time getting into the world. Somewhere around where Minja decided to go to Åslia the book got much more interesting for me and I became more invested in the story.
There were some details that bothered me a little, like when she vomits and it doesn't say that she washes after herself, but her mother gets home and doesn't notice which means she must have cleaned up after herself and it isn't mentioned. And that she grips the table hard without causing any marks but later in the book she throws a moped around and tears trees up from the ground.
I liked that there were different parts of the book that had different titles and that the book starts with Minja not remembering much. It makes it exciting that she understands things at the same time as the reader.
Immediately when the good and evil characters were introduced it was easy to understand who was who. And this comes from a person who usually doesn't see these things. It was also incredibly easy to understand that Vemund was a holder. Kappi also gave some obvious signs as to who was good and who was evil. Even though I kind of understand Minja can't see past Vemund's magic it annoyed me that I found out about him so fast.
I also found it a bit anticlimactic when Minja retrieved Josef from the mountain – I thought it was going to take more effort than it did. I also thought the ending came a little fast and that it could have waited until Josef woke up.
I would probably recommend the book, but point out some of the flaws I found.

Fantastisk bra bok! Jeg satt og hulket inn på rommet mitt etter å ha lest boken ferdig, noe søsteren min hørte, så hun trodde det var noe forferdelig galt som hadde skjedd. Jeg gikk inn på rommet hennes for å få trøst, og hun kom for å gi meg klem, og da jeg gråt frem "det var en så bra bok!", trengte hun ikke bekymre seg lenger. Boken anbefales på det sterkeste til alle som liker fantasy. Lise Grimnes skriver på en fascinerende levende måte, og man vet aldri hva som kommer til å skje.
Fantastically good book! I sat in my room crying so loud that my sister thought something terrible had happened. I went into her room for comfort, and she gave me a hug, and when I cried out "it was such a good book!", she didn't have to worry anymore. I recommend this book to everyone that enjoyes fantasy. Lise Grimnes writes in a fascinating way, and you never know what is going to happen.

Veldig kjekt å lese noe om norske folkeeventyr og sagn. Det er en YA bok, så jeg fikk en følelse av at jeg hadde likt denne enda bedre for 15 år siden. En del skrivefeil i boka også, og litt spesielle språklige formuleringer, men ok.

Likte denne boka utrolig godt.
Fascinerende med de underjordiske og historien var veldig bra skrevet.

This book is lovely. You should try it out even it is Norwegian and not in English.

Jeg liker måten den jordiske-verden og underverdenen fletter seg sammen i livet til Minja. Spennende å lese hvordan hun takler å oppleve dette. Gleder mg til å lese mer i neste bok "Blodskraft"

*head explosion* lukket boka og kom tilbake en time senere flere ganger. Bra bok, absolutt for de som liker litt overnaturlige saker og ting.

En av de beste norske fantasy-romanene for ungdom vi har. Mysteriet er solid, og folketro-elementene i historien var helt fantastiske. Jeg får la boka ligge en stund så jeg kan glemme den og dermed kunne lese den på nytt att!
