"The Ice Princess," by Camilla Läckberg
So, I read this book:
First of all, I just want to say that the cover is absolutely gorgeous; I think I could look at it for hours.
Unfortunately, the rest of the book just doesn't live up.
What baffles me is that this book seems to have gotten rave reviews from all around the world, not just in its native Sweden. I keep reading all of the positive reviews for it and feel really, truly baffled. I'm not going to say this book is horrible; it isn't. But it's not even remotely good either, and I'm at a loss to understand why so many people seem to have loved it.
My whole irritated review, complete with complaints of illogical happenings, bad characterization, and inadvertent sexism is here.
