Let the Northern Lights Erase Your Name by Vendela Vida

3.0

I had such high hopes for this book. The writing struck me from the first line and only seemed to get better over the next few pages. The author seemed to have an innate ability to draw analogies that struck a chord in the reader, that evoked feelings that almost anyone had experienced and could understand. Unfortunately, the construction of the sentences was overused and the writing started to feel too formulaic.

The story itself also started strong, but towards the end seemed to simply drag on a bit.

I still gave the book three stars for pulling me in from the start, I just wish the author had been able to maintain that momentum.
