The book was ok to read, but the story is quite unsurprising, and the chemistry between Charity and Robert were not really there. I think forbidden love is an interesting subject to write about, but Michelle Paver could have made an effort a little more to make the relationship feel more real and interesting to read about. Instead, you get a relationship that lacks any passion.

But still the book was enjoyable to read, although not as good as I had hoped for and the end was a little annoyed that a certain part of the dialogue was in French with no translation. ( )
