This is by far the most different book of all the Moomin series; it feels so different, not only in Tove's writing but in the themes and Moomintroll himself.
How moomintroll feels and how winter is described makes so much sense if you know what was happening in Tove's life, with all the moomins becoming incredibly merchantilized and stuff, and also how she just wanted to rest.
shoutout to Too-ticky, please; she is SO underrated as a character.

Creo que de los relatos de los Moomins este ha sido el que más me siento identificada, odio el invierno y Moomintroll también, los nuevos personajes excelentes, había partes muy tristes y momentos muy emotivos.
Extrañaba leer a Tove Jansson especialmente porque cada vez que ella comienza a escribir algo demasiado emotivo le mete algo chistoso para evitar lo incómodo pero sin quitarle el peso al momento dejando una marca para los personajes.
También me gusta mucho que los personajes no olviden lo que ha pasado en los libros anteriores (que ya van 6 con este) creando una evolución en ellos -especificamente en este caso de Moomintroll que es el que ha cambiado más últimamente.

Some people have complained that Moomin is too whiny and negative about winter. But I think you can't really understand that feeling if you have never experienced Scandinavian winter. Especially for a little Moomintroll, who only knows summery sun and warmth, it must be hard to wake up in an entirely different world, cold and dark, alone. But eventually he finds many special creatures and people who have been hidden during summer. And he experiences so much that no Moomintroll has ever seen before. It's a really cute and wholesome story with quite a few deep and philosophical ideas about life. I love this and I'm looking forward to readin more Moomin books in the future
