adventurous challenging emotional medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

3.5

This book has magic. I have aphantasia, and it’s not as complete since ketamine therapy, but it’s still like a 4 (if zero is darkness and ten is photographic). But every time I picked this one up I was transported. I could feel the ice, and I could see the fur. 

My feelings about the story itself are… complicated. I have a feeling I’ll be thinking of it for a while before I sort out what I really feel about it.
