Her writing does not disappoint. Paul's struggle with his memory loss for that one year of his life was well conveyed. However I just felt there was too much focus on one historical Iceland antihero and the country itself. Don't get me wrong. It was not boring but I rather the writer focus more on the emotional aspect of Paul's reawakening romance with Viggo, not just the sex, and Viggo's character. Even Paul's female colleague gets more screen time. The almost instant sex when Paul could not remember Viggo in the beginning was also a damper. I also expected more in the revelation towards the end because the beginning of the story has such potential. Still an enjoyable read which held my interest until the end.
