– Priyanka Champaneri, The Washington Independent, 18.04.2025Bjerkeland walks a careful line between being mindful of her audience’s age while refusing to shrink from the truth. Filled with tension and a few heart-pounding moments, Beasts never fully strays into the darker recesses like its postapocalyptic adult cousins The Road or I Who Have Never Known Men, yet it also resists easy answers or a storybook ending.
It’s a balance that clearly works: The author’s biography notes that 10,000 schoolchildren chose the novel for Norway’s top bookseller’s prize. With its propulsive prose and its central siblings whose survival is powered by empathy, Beasts is likely to garner praise from far more readers than that in the United States and beyond.
