I really enjoyed the child narration and the complexity it brings to the characters’ situation but it also felt uneven at times and the ending left me absolutely stumped. What happens in the snow (IYKYK) baffled me and I’m still confused as to what happened. The fate of the main character felt unrealistic and rushed, and maybe that was the point, but having an unreliable narrator didn’t work as well for the end as the beginning for me.
