This is the first Liza Kay book I’ve ever read and I’m glad I picked it up. The story is interesting and kept me wanting to know what would happen next. The characters are unique and the setting was beautiful. I felt like I was in Norway with Ruben and Aleks.

I did enjoy the story, but there were a few quirks that kept me from fully enjoying this tale. One thing that kept tripping me up was the telling and not showing. I felt like I was right there in the setting, but I had a hard time sorting out the choreography when Ruben and Aleks were together. Another thing that might not bother everyone, but stuck out for me was the independently moving body parts. Plus, there were comments in the story that…made me uncomfortable. Once I got into the mindset that Ruben was a twink, that helped. Now, that said, I did like the book. With a little tweaking, this could be a really great story.

Bottom line, I liked reading about Aleks and Ruben. They’re great characters. I hope the author revisits them. I’ll read it.
