Northern lights

Nora Roberts

3.78 AVERAGE


Northern Lights was a decent book. It never kept me on my toes with suspense, and often times could’ve put me to sleep. The author did well at organizing thoughts. I think towards the end though, it was a little scattered. Too much happening at once just to finish up the book. I think if the author would have slowed down the ending of the book, it would have been more enjoyable.
Overall, I probably would never recommend it.

This was another perfect romantic suspense by Nora Roberts. I love that this one took place in the rugged landscape of Alaska and all that comes with living there. Meg is a strong and independent female lead, but can't help falling for Nate and his bruised soul. The suspense of what is happening in the present time tied with that from the past is remarkable. I definitely enjoyed this one.

This book is more detective/mystery sort of book. I found it refreshing. I also love the secluded setting. Great for winter reading.

I enjoyed the book. Not my favorite Nora book but it was still good.

Interesting to have a heterosexual crime/romance novel that is told from the point of view of the man. Not sure I've read one like that before! Made an interesting change. I listened to the audio book version and the narrator, Gary Littman, performed the book well.

kymobereads's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH: 36%

Just nothing happening when it suppose to be a suspense element . Also FMC says some questionable things that I don't enjoy. I tried really hard to get into it but I cant

Definitely a book to read, just a slightly different sort.
If you're interested in alternate universes electrons, protons and the like this is definitely for you, But there is more, it is mostly about Lyra and her daemon Pantalaimon attempting to save their world, or at least the citizens living inside it, apart from the dreaded Mrs.Coulter of course, who strangely strives to aid them on their way, even if that is not what it seems...
