3.5

The last two Moomin books are incredibly depressing, and while I understand the real-world reasons for this, I think it's to the detriment of the stories. The other books all have dark undertones but this centres the darkness in a way that I don't find edifying and that I think is really one note and makes them seem far more unrealistic than they did with the more positive balance.
