CHECK CONTENT WARNINGS BEFORE READING!

As a lover of dual timelines and horror, this one was a big hit for me! It did start a bit slow, but once it picked up I was hooked.
 
As the first line of thai review says, check content warnings before reading. There are some topics discussed in detail that can definitely be triggering.

Deeply moving and sad. A dark tale about the cycle of trauma. Slow beginning but riveting all the same.

Very spooky, very icy. And an unusual setting - the north coast of Iceland.
