This is one of my favorite books read so far. The book is comprised of two unrelated stories - and each story has basically two parts - for a total of four stories. The first story starts out very easy to understand and is written in simple language. However, it does get more difficult, and there are many somewhat challenging descriptions of the otherworldly market. The second part of the first story was quite challenging for me - discussing the life course of the younger brother. One of the main strengths of this story is the spooky atmosphere that permeates every page.

The second story - The Old Road - was even better in my opinion. There are mature themes, a little violence, and a lingering sense of sadness on top of the otherworldly nature.
