A review by katiemack
Miss Iceland by Auður Ava Ólafsdóttir
2.0
I received an eARC of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
2.5. It was REALLY difficult for me to get into this story; at the beginning there are several shifts in POV that are confusing, and the writing is incredibly dry. There are also some formatting issues—for example, there are random phrases listed that I assume are chapter titles, but this is never fully explained—and some of the translations are strange. It did flow better once the romantic interest was introduced and I got used to the style, but I don’t think the attempt at a historical cozy narrative worked well for me.
