Everybody else is reading these, so why not? I liked it fine but it did not blow me away; possibly this is because I am not in general a fan of mysteries. Interesting worldbuilding and characters, though. Uh, AO3 seems to have lots of shippy Peter Grant/Thomas Nightingale fic--I did not get that vibe at all. So how is the rest of the series compared to the first one? Should I go on?
Primeval and Other Times by Olga Tokarczuk (original in Polish, read in Swedish)
Magical realism set in a Polish village over a hundred years. I liked it, though it has so many viewpoints that I didn't connect strongly with any of them. But the writing and sense of setting is great.
