3.0

It's been a few months since I've read this one, and when I think of it I still feel a residual chill. Vesaas created a stunning atmosphere in this short novel. The pages of Ice Palace are filled with carefully crafted prose which tell a haunting, magical and tragic tale. I found myself wanting to continue reading, and enjoyed the way grief was explored.
