The Mercies by Kiran Millwood Hargrave

My mic didn't work, so the audio is a bit echoy on this one - sorry :(

That's a shame, and I really appreciate your review as this is one I was thinking of picking up for the same reasons as you. Scandinavia ✅ female characters ✅, an I also like the coastal theme even though it starts with tragedy. I'll read it but won't put it at the top of my TBR pile.

Gave it more thought and back to add, I think like you say it sounds like the sort of book that needs to come at the right time, it sounds a bit low energy and I'm reading serious non fiction at the moment which means I like a little more action in the fiction books to add a bit of variety to the mood of my reads.

Exactly! I think that this is a book readers would enjoy as I it wasn't bad in any way. But there just isn't a lot going on and one should be aware of that going in. I'm glad my review helped you in that way :)
