I liked it. Granted, anything would be good after reading The Brilliant Death but I thought this book was a good read. Nothing earth-shattering, and I figured out the little twist early on, but the story was good, the characters likable (although I don't know any parents that nice and patient) and it entertained me. I don't usually ask for more in this kind of book. There seem to be sequel(s) and I am not sure whether they carry this story forward or are just about the same house - but I will probably read another one at some point.

3.5 stars. I read this book following a heavy recommendation by a well-known booktuber. While it gave me all of the cozy feels of the winter season, it got confusing in a few places. For a complete understanding I feel as though I need to re-read the story.
The setting of Green Glass house could not be better. It is a hotel high on a cliff, covered with snow. Multiple unexpected guests arrive during Christmas break. I struggled to keep everything straight, and this is where my reread will come in handy.
Milo is a 12 year old boy who will ultimately help solve a mystery and uncover why the guests have arrived.

It took 18 MONTHS for me to get this book from my library. I do not know why they only purchased one copy. The waitlist for it was at 56 people, at one time. Do better Phoenix Public Library.
