This has to be one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read. I felt my own personal grief understood in these pages.

I loved diving into this atmospheric story. Jack and Mabel quickly captured my heart. It was lovely to see them grow individually and as a couple over time. I understand that all of the hunting and animal death serves a purpose in this story, but I still didn't enjoy reading about it.

I don’t know why, but I expected this to be a cosy winter read. It is not. While reading I felt a sense of looming disaster, an always present uneasiness. It felt like the dark side of a fairytale if that makes sense. Probably not. Don’t worry, just read the book. 

I will get goosebumps next time it snows. A book I will be thinking about for a while.
