Ashes to Dust by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
3.0
This was a bit of a disappointment. I really like Thora, and I do have the next book, but this one just let her down.
The plot was predictable and slow. Sooooo slow. Nothing was come to quickly, everything had to be puzzled out in a long drawn out way. One major twist I figured out within the first 100pp and then Thora worked it out in the last 100pp, and it was the most obvious conclusion all along. Just painful, and cheapened Thora.
Also, I know Thora doesn't like larger people, but the banging on about how she can't believe anyone finds Bella attractive is just annoying. I mean, Bella's personality may be a valid criticism (although I felt her character grew slightly this book), but the fact that she was larger making it impossible for Thora to believe anyone wanted to have sex with her was just off. But Bella was the only one really doing the banging.
Yeah... just not as enjoyable, and noticeably weaker than the other two.
