The Circle: Book I (The Engelsfors Trilogy)
The Circle: Book I (The Engelsfors Trilogy) | Mats Strandberg, Sara B. Elfgren
9 posts | 27 read | 22 to read
On a night after the apparent suicide of high school student Elias Malmgren, a blood-red moon fills the night sky. Minoo wakes up outside her house, still in her pajamas, and is drawn by an invisible force to an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of town. Soon five of her classmatesVanessa, Linna, Anna-Karin, Rebecka, and Idaarrive, compelled by the same force. A mystical being takes over Idas body and tells them they are fated to fight an ancient evil that is hunting them. As the weeks pass, each girl discovers she has a unique magical ability. They begin exploring their powers. The six are wildly different and definitely not friends . . . but they are the Chosen Ones. In this gripping first installment of The Engelsfors Trilogy, a parallel world emerges in which teenage dreams, insanely annoying parents, bullying, revenge, and love collide with dangerous forces and ancient magic. An international sensation with rights sold in 26 countries, The Circle is razor-sharp and remarkable from start to finish. For more information visit: http://www.worldofengelsfors.com

Despite the length of the novel (may be off putting to some people) it gave each character their own story, and this was enjoyable to read. It certainly gave you more opportunity to get to know them as to who they are, and it shows how their newfound abilities shape them for the next books to come.

Fast paced, engaging YA about witches. I‘ll read the other two in the series eventually.

Worked an 11 hour day yesterday, got home at midnight, my partner needed me to do like a million things before I could go to bed, and I had to be up at 7 to come to work today. On five hours' sleep, I need light reading. Hope this does the trick.

tricours Is this Swedish crime? 8y
minkyb That is quite a day! 8y
bookishkai @tricours it's Swedish, but it's teen witches. @minkyb I ended up taking a nap while my nanny kid napped. Too tired to read, in the end. 8y
BeckyLeJ Oh, I love this trilogy!!! 8y
tricours I should have known it wasn't crime, I've read a decent zombie book by Strandberg! 8y

Day 21 #somethingforsept is #translatedbooks: these are the first ones that came to mind. I haven't read The Circle yet: picked it up on our anniversary trip at the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis earlier this year along with the postcard in the background which shows a watercolor painting by the Swedish artist featured when we were there, Lars Lerin. Loved his artwork so much!
I may need to move this one up on my tbr list 📚🇸🇪

BibliophileMomma Oh that cover. 8y
MeganAnn @Tiffness83 Yes! That's what drew me to this book! 😍 8y
