Margret Helgadottir’s kinetic prose immerses the reader in a future woven from the threads of Nordic history, studded with jewels pillaged from our mythic past.’ – Damien Walter, Columnist for The Guardian

A gift from the North Sea
By Wendy S. Delmater
Margrét Helgadóttir is a Norwegian-Icelandic writer and editor who burst onto the scene in 2012.
I’m very pleased I read The Stars Seem So Far Away, since it handles the acidification of the oceans and famines and droughts of a changed climate from the viewpoint of where those who can flee the wars, famines, plagues and destruction will go: north. For a book with such a grim backdrop and horrific chaos, it’s surprisingly positive and hopeful. The human touch is lovingly supplied by showing things in the points of view of surviving children, a lonely outpost with a single female protector, a woman who scavenges the ships of the dead, a retired astronaut, and other hardy or lucky folks who all funnel into a satisfying conclusion that wraps back into the title and theme.
This is a post apocalyptic book that can either be viewed as a set of standalone, themed short stories (some were published as shorts) or named chapters in a novel. It clocks in at just under 40K words, so it’s a novella. Read it yourself and see if it’s not one of the more worthy offerings at that length.

Distinctive and different
By Mr Kibbles
If The Stars Seem So Far Away comes across as quite fragmented, that's because the book started out as a series of (initially) unconnected short stories. But that fragmentation actually ends up being a key theme - the characters themselves are fragmented, the Earth is in pieces, and humanity is scattered across the stars. Zaki, Nora, Bjorg and the rest of the book's small cast are left behind, damaged and incomplete, and their individual journeys across the dying Earth reflect that - there are few place names, geographic leaps between chapters, isolation more often than not. Margret Helgadottir resists the temptation to allow her characters to solves great problems, find easy answers, and thus lay out her world to the reader; instead her characters are often mystified by what they find and by what goes on around them, indicating that technology, history and knowledge are all ephemeral.
Another distinctive and different voice from Fox Spirit Books - well worth your time.

Simply brilliant
By Daz Pulsford
Note: I read this in advance of release.
Ostensibly a collection, but so seamlessly woven into the fabric of the author's post-apocalyptic world to be a novel; this is a magical account of the survivors and their lives in the now (the now that is after the world changed). Some of it is struggle, and there is certainly hardship - but more of it is of adaptability, ingenuity, passion and curiosity for the unexplored horizon and the possibilities that the new future holds.
Echoed in the writing - the Nordic strands of culture and lore flow from the author, and you are steadily carried along the strands of the tales as they intertwine, and ultimately meet all the characters in a fabulous and hopeful ending.
I have read several short stories - mainly of the intrepid Nora - from this story before; but this debut outing in long format showcases the sublime talent and new approach the author brings: a tantalising mix of Icelandic lore, impish humour, grand futuristic vision (a sci-fi approach to fantasy, if you will), and a bevy of characters who aren't afraid to be imperfect.
And the cover... it matches the story for epic quality!
