REVIEW
Snowscape was a nice little novella that I enjoyed much more than I was expecting. It is still a 25-page novella so there is not enough time to fully explore the characters or create a developed plot but nonetheless, I think it might have been my favourite of the 3 Chaos Walking novellas. It’s an emotional read populated by grey characters, like in the main trilogy. You can’t help but feel compassion for the monsters, which is something I love seeing authors makes us feel. It’s a small adventure but it’s also a wise lesson about projecting your bad feelings on others. All in all, I believe it was the perfect way to close this series that will always have a space in my heart.

Somehow, Patrick Ness still managed to deliver a cliffhanger in the LAST novella of the series. It's such a satisfying end to the whole series though! I won't hesitate to read future novellas should the author decide to get back to the story. *cries*
