I decided to give Not Before Sundown another try a couple of days ago. I previously read it in Finnish and in English. This time I read it in English.
When I read this book for the first time, I didn't like it very much, because it felt like I had read better stories. Now that I read it again, I must admit that it has gradually grown on me and I've begun to like it. I guess that this is one of those books that must be read with time and patience to fully appreciate its charm.
The story is original and it's clearly meant to be read by adults, who want to think about things. This is not an easy fantasy book and it must not be read in haste - it must be read with enough time or you won't like it.
I must say that I'm glad that I decided to give this book another try and didn't let my earlier opinions affect me. I read it with an open mind and without prejudices. This time it opened to me in a whole new way and it felt like there was depth to the story.
Not Before Sundown is an interesting book and it can be recommended to fantasy fans, who want to read something different and want to be challenged by what they have read. I recommend this book especially to adult readers, because this book contains many elements, which can only be appreciated by adults.
