I enjoyed reading this fun, mysterious, wintry story so much! Herbie was a great MC, and his friendship with Violet was fab. The setting was spectacular, my one gripe being that we didn’t get to see enough of it! As a side note, I listened to the audiobook and Alfie Allen does SUCH a great job at narrating. He really embodied Herbie’s personality and brought the book to life.
