Jos kaikki kirjat olisivat tämmöisiä, niin kirjastolaitos pitäisi lakkauttaa tarpeettomana, kirjakaupat polttaa maan tasalle ja kaikilta lukemista harrastavilta puhkoa silmät.
Tässä päällimmäiset ja painokelpoisimmat tuntemukset Sari Luhtasen "Nymfit - Montpellierin legenda" (Gummerus, 2013) -romaanista, joka on tosiaan niin huono, että sen voi sanoa vievän huonouden jo uudelle tasolle.
"Nymfit" pohjautuu samannimiseen televisiosarjaan, jonka oikeudet on tiettävästi myyty jo useampaan maahan, ja jota aletaan esittää myös meidän ruuduissamme keväällä 2014. Televisiosarjoihin tai elokuviin pohjautuvat kirjat eivät ole koskaan tehneet suurempaa vaikutusta, eikä poikkeus vahvista tälläkään kertaa sääntöä. Luhtaniemen tekstistä paistaa käsikirjoitusmaisuus läpi.
Oikoluku olisi tehnyt kirjalle hyvää, sillä mukana on muutamia kielioppivirheitä, puhumattakaan selkeistä painovirhepaholaisista ja muista lapsuksista.
"- Samuel? Didi toisti. - Mitä sinä täällä teet?
- En tiedä, sanoi Samuel, jolla oli taipumus puhua aina totta [...]
- Kokeilemaanko? Didi toisti hänen sanansa, ja hymy karehti jo hänen huulillaan. - No, miltä sinusta nyt tuntuu?
- Ei oikestaan sen kummemmalta, Samuel valehteli." (s. 272)
"Nymfien" juoni on kokkareista kliseepuuroa. Suurempaa jännitettä ei pääse syntymään, kun kaikki on ihastuttavan ennalta-arvattavaa, niin juonen kannalta tärkeän legendan kuin ihmissuhteidenkin osalta. Loppukliimaksia yritetään kyllä saada aikaiseksi kun loppupuolella esitellään vielä muinainen pahuus, mutta sekin lässähtää kasaan. Johtuneeko sitten siitä, ettei televisiosarjan tekijöillä ole ollut rahaa toteuttaa kovin näyttävää toimintakohtausta?
Lähes kaikkien henkilöhahmojen tärkein ominaisuus on yksiulotteisuus, ja monet sivuhahmot menevät komeasti kategoriaan "tykinruoka", joiden uhraaminen mukamas dramaattisille juonenkäänteille ei merkkaa mitään sen enempää lukijalle kuin kirjan henkilöille.
Kokonaisuuden kruunaa harvinaisen tyylitön kansikuva. Varmaan tässä on yritetty luoda kotimaista True Bloodia, mutta metsään mennään niin että rytisee.
Välttäkää tätä kuin ruttoa. Tuhkarokko on kivempi tapa viettää aikaa kuin tämän kirjan lukeminen.

Some girl called Didi sleeps with a guy called Johannes. He dies and she ends up in hospital. In the hospital she is approached by two beautiful women that her mother blindly trusts and they lock Didi up in an attic. Then they tell her she's a nymph, like them, and her mother is just her adoptive mother. They also tell her that nymphs need to have sex when there's a full moon or they'll die. Didi protests for about five minutes but then sleeps with another guy called Janne, who then also dies after he climaxes for the last time in Didi. (Don't sleep with men whose names start with J.) Then in Switzerland (or some other interchangeable country), some handsome blond professor watches two people have sex in his office then shows a nymph he has locked away and she is all withered because she has been deprived of sex. Yeah, I'm not going to say any more. Yes, it is as terrible as it sounds.
This is not really a review, just a list of things I found wrong with this book:
1. Everybody adapts REALLY WELL to major life changes. Didi's mother is not her real mother? No biggie. I'm a nymph? No biggie. Two random women have made me change my name, college and address? Oh well. I killed a second guy after having sex with him? Meh, let's talk clothes instead.
2. All of this book's characters are two-dimensional with no hint of depth. Characters are either good or bad, no in-between. But no character is as bad as the main, Didi. Of course she is the chosen one with a speshul mark, but there's nothing likeable about her. She's a dick to her mother, a complete airhead and yet characters still fall to her feet. When she needs to go to the police concerning a life-endangering matter, the most important thing in her mind is what she is going to wear. At some point in the book, never before mentioned, we learn that Didi can read minds when she touches a person's skin (I don't think it is ever mentioned after this, either, but I skimmed). So at the café where she works she accidently brushes skin with a customer and learns that he thinks she is attractive. Note that he doesn't verbalise it. Didi, in the name of girl power or something, chastises him, saying she doesn't find it flattering that he wants to bone her. But here's the thing...he didn't actually say it! We all have intrusive thoughts that we can't control.
3. The café. It is only a miniscule part of the story and is not really relevant at all, but the owner Valtteri has to be one of the DUMBEST business owners I've ever come across in fiction. He employs Didi because she bumps into him, making him drop all the stuff in his arms. She apologises, because that's what you do when you've just bumped into someone doing their job, breaking crockery in the process, but Valtteri, the doughnut, says 'hey, I have a good judge of character, here's a job' and offers Didi a job on the spot. Fucking LOL. He's completely fine with Didi taking an unplanned trip to Ecuador without his notice, and he's fine with her taking time off if and when she feels like it. Also, see the end of point 2. That's how a good character treats their customers.
4. Nymphs. Why nymphs? We learn that nymphs have to fuck every month to stay alive? Or is it stay healthy? I don't know. They're all very beautiful (obviously) and have evidently had to sacrifice their personalities for this to happen. They age really slowly so always look like young women and they can eat all they want and not gain weight. WELL THAT'S LUCKY. So, are they really skinny? Can there be a fat nymph? Nymphs apparently really like avocado (probably the only thing I agree with them on). There are different types of nymphs, like earth nymph, water nymph, etc, but that's only touched upon briefly. Who cares about world building? THEY DON'T GAIN WEIGHT, GUYS! Also, bees have something to do with the nymphs. There's a jar of bees but I never found out their relevance to the story.
5. Why Finland? I read somewhere that the authors (who are Finnish, so I'm answering my own question) did a lot of research into Greek nymphs, so why set it in Finland? Some parts of the book take place in Ecuador and other countries in Europe, but there's no sense of place, no description. I don't even think Greece appears in this book. Why not use Finnish mythology? (No, authors, that's not encouragement. LEAVE THE KALEVALA ALONE.)
6. The timeframe. In chapter one Didi meets Johannes. In chapter two they've fallen for each other. That was quick. I had to read how much time had passed. I still don't know. This happens a lot.
7. The more I think about this book, the more I get pissed off. So I'll stop here.
Update: Even months later I still think about this book, but for all of the wrong reasons. Truly one of the worst books I have ever read.

The beginning of the book was really hard to me but I ended up being curious and enjoying the more I’ve read. What a freaking shame how this just got so bored again.
Didi (the main character) was soooooo hard to like. At least to me. I know I’m getting old when teenagers making dumb decisions gets on my nerves. To be honest, I didn’t even like her story that much.
On the other hand, I was really curious with Kati and Nadia’s stories and wanted to know more about those characters but their stories was completely destroyed.
This book had everything to be a really good paranormal read and ended up just being a big disappointment.
I know this is a series but I don’t even want to read more of this world.

En realidad, el ritmo del libro es muy bueno. Te mantiene en la historia todo el tiempo y el hilo conductor tiene coherencia. Aunque siento que el final pudo ser un poco más preciso, va acorde con el resto de la historia. Me gustó mucho. Ampliamente recomendado.

This review is also available to read on my blog
Thank you to Headline Publishing Group for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I had never heard nor seen of the series prior, so I went into the Nymphs world with fresh eyes.
I will say that there are quite a lot characters in this book with what I'm guessing are Finnish names. However, don't fret, it's not quite Game of Thrones level just yet. Even if you do get confused along the way and forget who's who (which may have happened to me a few times), then there's a page at the start of a book which slots each character into a category and gives a brief description of their relation to the story. Although, don't give it a glance before you start reading or it might spoil some pretty big revelations!!
Nymphs is a fantastic book and a wholly enjoyable read. Oikkonen, the innovator behind Nymphs, has created this magical world which mixes Greek mythology and modern day Helsinki and Sari Luhtanen has made this come to life vividly on paper. Every character and location is so distinct from the next due to the impeccable writing.
The plot itself is truly gripping. If there was a way to watch the television series with subtitles I completely would because I can see it working excellently as a show. Immediately you are thrown into the action and introduced to the protagonist, Didi.
Tonight is the night Didi will finally get to do the horizontal tango with her boyfriend, Johannes. But it doesn't quite go to plan and Johannes mysterious demise sends Didi's life spiraling out of control.
We follow Didi's journey as she comes to terms with the fact that is a nymph, and not just any old nymph. She's supposedly the Nymph of Legend, or so she is told by Nadia and Kati, two older nymphs whose care she is placed into.
The dynamic between the three nymphs is an interesting one. You have Kati, the oldest, who is definitely the leader of the trio with her bossy and authoritative attitude. Initially, we're definitely meant to dislike Kati and the standoffish vibe her character gives off. However, as the novel goes on and we learn more about Kati's past and the reason for her hostility towards the satyrs becomes apparent. By the end, I had actually warmed to Kati a lot. Her dislike of the satyrs is obvious considering the fact these beasts persecute them for who they are and that nymphkind (is that a word?) has been on the run from them for centuries.
Nadia is the polar opposite. She's caring from the get-go and while Kati can kick some ass, Nadia would be invaluable at a brawl due to her healing powers. She's also one half of one Nymphs' many Romeo and Juliet-esque couples, having been in love with Jesper, a satyr, much to Kati's disapproval. There's a lot being set up in this book without you even realising it which adds to all the fun when you discover the clues were there pages back and you'd missed them! Jesper himself said it best early on in the book, "The most likely scenario is that this story of ours is going to come to a sad ending". Oh, Jesper, you couldn't have been more right. It does and it is tragic.
Our central character, Didi, is probably my least favourite nymph. It saddens me to say this as I did quite like Didi at the start. She's certainly a firecracker, but she does make some very rash and stupid decisions without really thinking them through and not all of them can be blamed on the moon's power over a nymph. Naive and reckless decisions aside, Didi's not short of admirers due to her nymph allure. But the one guy who has forever had her heart is the lovely Samuel.
Oh, Samuel. Never have I been more frustrated over a character, yet still be able to say wholeheartedly that they were probably my favourite character. Samuel's in the medical profession and has known Didi since they were children. Their romance is all quite forbidden I-want-you-but-I-can't-be-with-you cliche and normally that would be eye rolling inducing for me, but I actually liked them as a pairing. While the book itself has plenty of witty and humorous one liners, Samuel's generally the go-to character for comedic relief. He's the Simon Lewis of the Nymphs world.
Don't be fooled into thinking Nymphs is your typical teen paranormal adventure because it isn't. I just wanted to warn anyone contemplating picking this one up that there are several mature themes. You see, these nymphs need to have sex once a month in order to stay alive. However, their coitus (Yeah, I couldn't type that without thinking of Sheldon Cooper either) partners end up dead. Yup, you read that correctly. These nymphs literally have killer vaginas! But smutty times aside, the sub plot of Erik, a professor and satyr, being infatuated with Didi after she reminds him a lot of his deceased love, Rose, and after hearing that she is the Nymph of Legend is often uncomfortable. Erik, while described as being devilishly handsome, is like hundreds of years older than Didi and because he believes she will fulfill a prophecy, he goes to great lengths to attempt to get close to the girl.
Despite that awkwardness, I had a blast reading Nymphs. If you can look past all the horizontal tango and pervy satyrs, then it's actually quite a compelling story that you'll easily find yourself engrossed in. At times the book can get quite ridiculous and the characters, mainly Didi, can get tedious. But there will be characters you will root for even if it isn't our redheaded protagonist. The nymphs are badass in their own right and I really adored the sense of family they had.
Upon doing a little bit of research, I have found that the Nymphs book series has a second novel. I'm not sure if we'll be seeing it over on our shores any time soon as Nymphs is only just being published this week, but if and when it does I can't wait to pick it up and delve back into the world of these immortal yet beautiful creatures.

Ad essere onesti, gli darei una stellina e mezzo.
Avevo sentito parlare della serie TV da cui deriva questo libro ma non ho mai avuto l'occasione di guardarla. Poi ho visto che ne avevano fatto un libro e così mi sono decisa a comprarlo. Di seconda mano, of course.
Didi, normale ragazzotta finlandese dai capelli rossi, scopre di essere in realtà una ninfa perché in una notte di luna piena ha perso la verginità con il suo ragazzo, uccidendolo. Sua madre la affida alle cure di Nadia e Kati, che sono ninfe a loro volta. Loro dovrebbero essere in grado di insegnare a Didi come riuscire a sopravvivere senza uccidere nessuno. Perché, per sopravvivere, le ninfe hanno bisogno di avere un rapporto sessuale ad ogni plenilunio. Di solito non uccidono i loro amanti, ma per Didi è tutto più difficile e la poverina si lascia dietro di sé una striscia di cadaveri.
Poi c'è tutto un mondo di satiri che danno la caccia alle ninfe, altre ninfe che danno la caccia alle loro simili, e satiri che s'innamorano delle ninfe nonostante sia vietato. E c'è Samuel, un amico d'infanzia di Didi, di cui s'innamora - ricambiata.
Per certi versi, il libro mi ricorda Lost, la serie TV. Prima di farvi venire un infarto per questo paragone azzardato, continuate a leggere, per favore. Ho adorato la prima stagione di Lost, davvero. Ma poi, i misteri continuavano ad ammassarsi e quelle pochissima soluzioni che gli sceneggiatori offrivano non erano mai sufficienti a soddisfare la fame di capire la storia. Per me guardare Lost era frustante. Domande, domanda, domande e una risposta (insoddisfacente) ogni morte di papa.
Questo libro mi ha fatto lo stesso effetto. La trama viene interrotta da continui flash-back che servono a spiegare la storia passata dei protagonista. Anche naturale, visto che la maggior parte dei personaggi sono immortali. Raccontano di amore infelici e morte. Alla fine del libro, però, troppe questioni rimangono aperte (ci sarà un volume due?) e compare la misteriosa Matilda...
Leggerò il secondo volume, se uscisse? Non so.

Per certi versi, il libro mi ricorda Lost, la serie TV. Prima di farvi venire un infarto per questo paragone azzardato, continuate a leggere, per favore. Ho adorato la prima stagione di Lost, davvero. Ma poi, i misteri continuavano ad ammassarsi e quelle pochissima soluzioni che gli sceneggiatori offrivano non erano mai sufficienti a soddisfare la fame di capire la storia. Per me guardare Lost era frustante. Domande, domanda, domande e una risposta (insoddisfacente) ogni morte di papa.
Questo libro mi ha fatto lo stesso effetto. La trama viene interrotta da continui flash-back che servono a spiegare la storia passata dei protagonista. Anche naturale, visto che la maggior parte dei personaggi sono immortali. Raccontano di amore infelici e morte. Alla fine del libro, però, troppe questioni rimangono aperte (ci sarà un volume due?) e compare la misteriosa Matilda...
Leggerò il secondo volume, se uscisse? Non so.

After reading this all I could think was whaaaaat? The first few chapters of the book were alright and I was so eager to find out how everything tied together but it ended in disappointment.
The progression of events was jarring and it felt like one of those stories that you wrote under exam conditions and you look up, suddenly realising time was almost up and scrambled to tie everything together. I expected more character depth and detail but I feel as if everything was rushed and lacking in detail;
- Aurelia only appeared for a few pages of the story and disappeared as suddenly as she had appeared despite being described as this all powerful ancient being
- I still do not understand what makes satyrs in general "evil", the whole master/servant relationship and the oppression that made the satyrs the antagonists seemed only applicable to certain cases but even that was an insufficient explanation
- Didi's relationship with Erik seemed to fluctuate, sometimes she was attracted to him and other times she lashed out violently, a swinging pendulum of extremes without proper justification. One moment she willingly went out to dinner with him and the next she wanted to get away from him, at times she even seemed comfortable in his presence despite the fact that he almost drowned her childhood friend and wanted her companions dead too. Isn't that enough reason to not go sneaking off to visit Erik, isn't that enough to remind you that he is not a good person? Obviously not.
In general everything was just disjointed and it just didn't work for me. Even the conversations between the characters seem unnatural and cringe-worthy. This book for me was just a huge "what? why?"

2.5/5
Es una pena, realmente no tenía muy altas expectativas de este libro y es que ¿han visto la puntuación en general que tiene en Goodreads? ¡Es pésima! En realidad este libro lo compré por el precio y es que si, realmente la compra fue una buena oferta y sin ir con expectativas, me decepcionó algo.
Bien la idea fue una cosa genial, que debo de decir que no es muuuy original pero que supieron los autores darle una propia voz, pero que sin duda alguna no explotaron al máximo, aún así con el tremendo caso de protagonista del libro.
Didi es un personaje que solo se puede describir con la palabra "TONTA", intenté comprenderla la primera mitad del libro y realmente lo hice porque si la sentí como un personaje real y a lo mejor yo en su situación a lo mejor hubiese actuado igual que ella en algunas de las situaciones planteadas en las primeras parte del libro. La segunda parte del libro ha sido una completa osadía, me la pasaba poniendo en blanco los ojos y criticando las barbaridades que hacía Didi, es que literal fue como "No hagas esto" y su instinto le decía"¡Corre a hacerlo!"
El final fue una completa mezcla de giros que bien podría ser final autoconclusivo y a la par con seguimiento pero un mal final que no me género ningún sentimiento de gusto o disgusto pero fue un final sin nada que aportar.
Bien no estoy seguro de que esto sea una saga, creo que es una bilogía pero tengo mis dudas, al comprar el libro pensé que era autoconclusivo, pero al ver que no hay traducción del segundo libro, y tomando en cuenta de que la traducción del primer libro fue hace años, no creo poder leer nunca la continuación y no creo querer leerla pronto.

J'avais vu il y a quelques années de cela le début de la série adaptée à partir de ce roman et je n'avais pas été transcendée. Eh bien c'est pareil pour le roman qui manque clairement d'énergie et qui est plutôt ennuyeux au final. Le personnage de Didi m'a particulièrement agacée, oui elle est belle, oui c'est une nymphe et oui elle est amoureuse de son Samuel ... pas la peine de nous le répéter toutes les 5 pages. Nadia est la nymphe qui s'en sort le mieux à mes yeux car elle est gentille (voire même trop) quand à Kati, je comprends l'agacement de Didi à son égard. Samuel est assez fade également et je trouve qu'au final l'histoire n'est pas assez bien expliquée et approfondie. Le seul personnage intéressant est Erik mais malheureusement, on en sait également peu sur lui. Quand à la fin, ce n'en est pas réellement une au vu de ce qui reste en suspens ( que deviennent Samuel et Didi ? quel rôle va jouer Mathilda) mais au final, je n'ai pas spécialement envie de m'infliger un second tome donc ça me va
Ce que j'aime : le personnage d'Erik
Ce que j'aime moins : l'histoire avance lentement et le contexte n'est pas assez détaillé et expliqué. Didi est cruche, Kati énervante et la romance Samuel/Didi insipide
En bref : Une bonne idée de base mais un ensemble trop superficiel pour être réellement convaincant
Ma note
4,5/10

No sé ni cómo me lo he terminado. Supongo que tenía la esperanza de que en algún momento mejorase, o que por lo menos la historia avanzase, pero en realidad las 350 primeras hojas son para introducirte misterios que luego en las últimas 50 paginas te los resuelven sin mucho esmero. Muy predecible, y te quedas esperando una acción, una lucha que te dicen que ocurrirá pero nunca llega. Eso sí, en cada capítulo te describen perfectamente qué estampado y estilo lleva el vestido que tiene puesto la protagonista en cada momento.

El libro me ha resultado muy aburrido. La protagonista no me caía nada bien, tenía una forma de ser que no me gustaba nada, me ha parecido muy egocéntrica y engreída. La idea en sí del libro me ha parecido muy original, pero esperaba mucho más de ella. Me ha costado mucho trabajo terminarlo.
March 7, 2021
Un libro malísimo, ni siquiera sé describir cuán soso y simple me ha parecido, personajes con cero desarrollo y una trama superficial que no tiene ni por donde agarrarle.
August 1, 2024
Did not finish- immature insufferable main, no world building, plot development didn’t make sense, weirdly sexual where it didn’t need to be, lots of older men sexualising a 16 year old (gross!!!)

Tengo que reconocer que el título me llamó la atención según lo vi. Era atrayente y diferente, ya que todos los libros de “fantasía” se suelen dividir en vampiros, hombres lobo o brujas (o todo a la vez). Es difícil salirse de ahí y encontrar algo sobre, por ejemplo, ninfas.
Tampoco soy una apasionada de la literatura propiamente de fantasía, pero le di una oportunidad. He de decir que me ha parecido una lectura interesante y no excesivamente juvenil.
Las ninfas, seres de la naturaleza, siempre representadas en la mitología como jóvenes bellas, objeto de deseo por parte de dioses y, generalmente, con un destino trágico. Podemos pensar en Eco (Oréade, ninfa de las montañas), que fue rechazada por Narciso y que acabó muriendo cuando el joven se ahogó en su propio reflejo; en Clitia, enamorada de Helios (dios del Sol) y abandonada por el mismo, que acabó convertida en un girasol tras nueve días sin comer y únicamente viéndolo pasa por el cielo; o en Dafne, cuya fecha de plomo disparada por Cupido a modo de venganza, le hizo huir del dios Apolo, y suplicar ayuda a su padre, el dios del Río, que la convirtió en un árbol de laurel justo cuando Apolo intentaba alcanzarla.
En esta novela, alejada de dioses, Didi, una joven adolescente de extraordinaria belleza, descubre que es una ninfa de la peor de las maneras: matando a su novio durante una noche de pasión. Y no una ninfa cualquiera, sino la salvadora de todas las demás, subyugadas al poder de sus enemigos: los sátiros. Una lucha entre ambos bandos que lleva siglos de enfrentamientos. A pesar de ello, en las noches de luna llena, las ninfas necesitan de los sátiros para sobrevivir y mantenerse siempre jóvenes y bellas. Pero Didi no está sola, ya que junto a ella están Kati y Nadia, dos ninfas veteranas que le enseñan lo que supone ser una de ellas: seres de la naturaleza extraordinariamente bellos, irresistibles a los hombres y con una única regla: no enamorarse. Pero Didi está dispuesta a incumplirla.

Ootasin lugemist, kus ei peaks palju mõtlema ja oleks põnev. Seda ma ka sain. Kirjanduslikus mõttes kindlasti mitte mingi väärtteos, aga lugu liigub kiirelt, dialoog on tihe ja käest ära panna raske.
Lugu algab sellest, et 16-aastane Didi magab esimest korda noormehega ja... tapab ta, seksi käigus. Tuleb välja, et Didi on nümf ja peab nüüd maha jätma kogu oma eelneva elu, et õppida, mida nümfiks olemine tähendab ja kuidas tema elu edasi kulgema hakkab.
Õudsalt ajas närvi see, et infot jagati kuidagi killukese kaupa, kõik dialoogid, mis oleks ehk võinud Didi elule ja päritolule või nümfidele mingit valgust heita, lõppesid enam-vähem ühtemoodi "ah, liiga vara veel sellest talle rääkida". Aga no põnev oli ikka, selline lahe lugemine, kus eriti kaasa mõtlema ei pidanud, lihtsalt lugesid. Vahel võib ka nii.

Didi é a pessoa com melhor "poder de aceitação" que eu já vi... De um dia para o outro mata o namorado, que adora, ao fazer sexo com ele, descobre que é uma ninfa, uma viúva negra e que o chefe dos sátiros a quer para rainha. E tudo isto é aceite de uma forma muito normal e comum, como se fosse algo que acontecia todos os dias e isso para mim fez-me confusão.
Apesar disso foi um livro que li rapidamente de forma relaxada e que gostei da descrição do mundo em que as ninfas e sátiros vivem, mas é sem dúvida um livro para pessoas mais novas que não estejam tão habituadas a reparar na falta de forma das personagens.

I’m not familiar with the whole nymph mythology so I don’t know how much of this story follows any actual legends but the fact that they need to feed on sex during full moon otherwise they’ll die was a very interesting point to me. Kinda gave me werewolf vibes.
The story was fairly good and there was a point to it but the way it was written was just weird and a bit confusing. Everything happens without good explanations and out of the blue and Didi just accepts everything very quickly which under her circumstances is a bit weird.
Didi is supposed to be part of this legend that will give freedom to the nymphs all around the world so she is protected because of that but she acts like an annoying teenager most of the time.
Most of the “plot twists” were very predictable so it didn’t surprise me at all when Didi’s real mother was revealed. I saw that coming since very early in the book. However the last page really surprised me. That was a plot twist I was not expecting and that would probably make me read the next book.
I still recommend this book if you’re interested about nymphs but don’t expect to be too impressed about the way the story was built. Maybe it gets better on the next book.

En realidad es un 4,5.
Me ha gustado, ya que me encanta la fantasía, y aquí nos podemos encontrar a ninfas, a sátiros y seres humanos que conviven todos juntos.
No le doy la puntuación máxima porque en algunas cosas son un poco predecibles, pero solo en cosas muy puntuales, no es en plan, esto va a pasar sí o sí, y ya no me va a sorprender, porque no es así, te deja con la intriga hasta el final, el cual te deja con mayor intriga porque tiene una segunda parte, pero en España no se ha publicado…

No he conectado nada con la historia. Lo he terminado porque tenía la esperanza de que hubiera algún giro, ya que la trama y la idea me ha parecido muy interesante, pero no. Creo que el principal problema ha sido que hay cambios de escena sin sentido, de repente se avanza o se está en un punto de la historia y no se explica cómo se ha llegado. No se profundiza en la historia ni en los personajes, se pasa de una parte a otra sin sentido y cuesta darse cuenta que has cambiado de trama. Capítulos cortos, eso ha estado bien.

Acho que foi o livro mais esquisito que li, este ano.
Eu gostei dele, mas às tantas perdi-me pois são personagens a mais e cada uma tem o seu proprio passado.
Para todos os efeitos a história anda a volta de Didi, uma jovem que acabou de descobrir que é uma ninfa e as consequências disso.

La historia me ha parecido interesante de leer aunque a lo largo de mi experiencia mientras la leía me ha resultado confusa y muy predecible en más de una ocasión, es uno de esos libros que lees pero te dejan algo fría, esperaba una trama con mucha más acción y creo que se podría haber "explotado" mucho más el ser creado por la autora y no limitarse en las relaciones sexuales.

Patika, ka tēma bija par satīriem un nimfām, jo līdz šim bija lasītas tikai pāris grāmatas par fejām.
Didī neizlēmība un mūžīgā bēgšana kaitināja un Ēriks bija kaut kāds dīvainis ar lieliem sapņiem par varu pār visiem, bet patiesībā, kā ļaunais tēls - galīgi bezcerīgs.
Vienīgi Nadja un Kati bija saprātīgas un interesantas, pretstats visiem pārējiem aizmāršiem.

I read this book right after re-watching the TV series.
+ the chapters are bite-sized
+ light to read
+ a good read for a fan of the TV series, gives the story more depth
-a few typos in the book
-ends very abruptly

Una amiga me lo prestó y después de 100 páginas ya no podía más. Tuve que dejarlo.
La premisa con la que se presenta el libro es interesante, pero que tenga saltos de tiempo sin avisar que está contando algo de hace años es lo peor que te puedes llevar a los ojos.
No entendí el orden de nada y me perdí muchas veces.

Historia original, muy chulo el rollo de ninfas y sátiros, me han gustado los personajes. Demasiados topicos rómanticos, personajes metidos con calzador para arreglar la trama y no se acaba de entender bien la historia.

Ni fu, ni fa. La narrativa me ha parecido horrorosa y no engancha nada pero la historia tiene potencial y en verdad pintaba bien, pero le falla demasiadas cosas: narrativa, estructura, sentimiento, conexión de los personajes, etc.
Entretenido sin más.

Man patika! Nemaz nekautrējos to atzīt!!! Kaut kas šajā grāmatā ir - sižets, aizrautība. Vienīgi jāpiever acis (bieži un cieši) uz neveikliem dialogiem un neloģisku varoņu rīcību:)

Finnish book of a Finnish TV series based on Greek myths, paced like a TV drama. Felt like I was reading a novel based on the Canadian series Lost Girl, would be appreciated by teens.
