![]() ![]() Interspersed through the rest of the book, with the narrative of the surviving Chosen Ones, are little sections of her as a ghost. However, Ida isn’t as gone as the others think. Ida has died this time, helping to save the town, and the remaining Chosen Ones are the only people who know the truth about what happened to her. As with Fire, the protagonists are deeply affected by the events of the previous book, not least because they have lost another of their own. A slightly flimsy explanation has been collectively dreamt up, and life can now return to normal. Read with caution if you have yet to finish Fire ( Eld) and The Key ( Nyckeln).Įngelsfors has been saved from the cult of positivity that attempted to take it over, and while one might think an event of the magnitude of the climax of Fire (including the better part of the town being brainwashed by a metal witch, a mass human sacrifice nearly occurring, and a sudden display of electrical magic) would wake the townspeople up to the reality that they live on what is essentially the Hellmouth, those of us who know fantasy (or are at least familiar enough with Buffy the Vampire Slayer to see Engelsfors for what it truly is as a Swedish Sunnydale) will know that no such thing is likely to happen.Īt the beginning of The Key, the final book in the Engelsfors Trilogy, we learn that a massive reset button has been pushed, and the townspeople know nothing about what happened. ![]()
