Truly excellent. Gorgeous and vivid descriptions of Alaska. Characters are put though challenge after challenge. There are parts where the tension is so thick you’re totally stressed out by their choices. Leads to a compelling story I stayed up past 2am to finish and it stuck with me after I finished.
