DID NOT FINISH: 11%

It took me 50 pages to realise that we were jumping between different POVs at each line break... 

Once I realised this, I couldn't continue because the fact that it took me so long to realise that we were switching between the perspectives of multiple characters, indicates a very serious issue with the writing and character voice.

Simply written in the tradition of fairy tales, and tightly plotted together. Spinning Silver brims with memorable, brave and sympathetic perspectives, set within a familiar (yet divergent) wintry setting. An all time fave!

Audio book: didn’t like the format and the story half way through!
