I liked it - good characters, interesting plot and setting. Kept my attention and it was a quick read. Not sure I came away liking the main character very much but I can appreciate her situation.

I enjoyed this book and particularly liked the detailed descriptions of life in the north, where it is so very cold.

I don't know why, because the subject mattter doesn't really warrant it, but once I got into the book - I couldn't put it down and had to read the whole thing through. I really enjoyed it.
reviewed Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name on
Maybe not the best book I've ever read, but a good, engaging, and fast read. Would be a good airplane read - engrossing, but not too taxing.
