Summary from Goodreads:
Gunhild is a private in the Royal Army. She’s headstrong and reckless, but she’s also the best troll hunter in the country, and when a troll gets away with a national treasure, she’s the only person with any chance of getting it back. Kirabo was on his way home to Aberash after a fulfilled research mission, but he managed to enter the wrong coordinates into his spaceship. Now he and his PA robot are stranded on a far-off planet, and they don’t have enough fuel to get back home. As genres collide on Troll Island, Earth, the troll hunter and the space explorer have to overcome their differences and work together if they want to survive this fairytale.

MY RATING:
I was completely captivated by this story on many levels! First, the setting, feel, tone and characters gave me a lasting impression of great fantasy. Gunhild is a bold and reckless troll hunter sent on an impossible mission. Kirabo an unsuspecting traveler; is brought along for the journey and fight for his life, learns a thing or two in the process. These two suddenly meet, and under extreme circumstances, are forced into an improbable interdependency which makes the story much more compelling.
There’s also a good element of suspense, anticipation, and theme that made this read worthwhile. This author has great skill in crafting a story. Highly recommended!

You bet! Will this be a new series or a stand alone?

For now it’s a stand alone. Should the book turn out to become extremely popular, I have a rough plot for a sequel sketched down (and just for my own eyes, I’ve written a prologue that I enjoyed a lot), but sadly I can’t justify spending the time to write it unless there turns out to be a demand for it. There certainly wasn’t when I first published the book in Norwegian three years ago, which is why I’m re-releasing it in English now. So I definitely have made some thoughts about what happens next, but currently no series is planned.
