Both novels are excellent, Juri, and both are grim, as you
say (truly noir). But I think Songs of Innocence is even
better than Little Girl Lost. Do read both books, though, for
a complete picture of the main character. I hope Aleas writes
a third one - I look forward to seeing where he takes the
story next!
