Dansk-norske Kristin Vego fikk Tarjei Vesaas' debutantpris for novellesamlingen "Se en siste gang på alt vakkert" i 2021. Når hun nå også debuterer som romanforfatter har hun med seg novelleformens fasthet og konsentrasjon. […] Måten Vego formidler og formulerer følelser på er fine, nærmest lyriske bilder som oppleves nesten kroppslig.

Danish-Norwegian Kristin Vego was awarded the Tarjei Vesaas Debut Prize for her debut collection of short stories, Look Your Last on All Things Lovely, in 2021. When she now publishes her first novel, she lets the stringency and concentration of the short story form carry over. […] Vego’s way of conveying and putting feelings into words is through lovely, almost lyrical images that feels like they are experienced through the body.
- Vigdis Moe Skarstein, Adresseavisen
Hitting the nail on the head with her first novel. […] In her first novel, Danish-Norwegian Kristin Vego (32) demonstrates an unmistakable talent for both atmosphere and suspense. Fading Light is packed with effortless literary references as well as gorgeous metaphors […] Melancholy, absolutely, but Kristin Vego’s descriptions of passing time and changing seasons are more than anything brimming with beauty.
- Anne Merethe K. Prinos, Aftenposten
A remarkably good novel. […] especially the ability to write forth a characteristic atmosphere and mood, a mellow elegy of a time and a relationship that has faded to dust, makes an impact. Descriptions of the ways that humans and nature interact is another literary vein that makes Vego’s novel stand out.
