A review by vkshiro
The Blue Place by Nicola Griffith
3.0
Unfortunately, I had read the second book of this series first, when it was released. So I knew what was going to happen at the end of this book. I also figured out pretty early on who the "bad guy" was. I definitely think I would have enjoyed this book more if I hadn't read the 2nd book first.
One gripe I have, that I often have with books/movies, is when characters fall madly, deeply in love in a very short time. Sure, it's possible to fall in love that quickly but love has to prove itself over time. Anybody can "love" someone for a week, for a month but what about for a year? For a decade? That's real love and if it's taken away, that's real pain.
All of that being said, I did like the book, and liked Aud better once she got to Norway. I'll re-read the second book of this series and am looking forward the the last book.
