Last Rituals by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir

2.0

---

This book was recommended to me and it started really well but unfortunately about halfway through the story it all sort of fizzled out and I found it a struggle to get through to the end. The plot about historic Icelandic witchcraft should have been a real page turner but there were too many long winded explanations which made me bored. I can't say I liked any of the characters, and I could definitely have done without the romance! I was looking forward to reading something different to my usual UK crime fiction, but to be honest, this book could have been set absolutely anywhere as there were no descriptions of the landscapes.

I did enjoy the narration by Gabrielle Nellis-Pain.
