- Strong character development? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
5.0
This is the second (third?) time I’ve read this novella in the run up to Christmas; and it’s a painfully perfect Christmas tale of romance, isolation, and sacrifice.
It’s the ending that makes it for me (which I won’t discuss, because spoilers), but I also appreciate the journey - a car crash in which the reader can see what’s going on long before the witches, who are being so carefully manipulated. This is all about whether they can possibly stop it, and what price they will have to pay. It makes me cry every time, just as its sly humour and knowing asides make me laugh.
