A review by em_reads_books
Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice

5.0

Not surprised to see that the author is a journalist; the spare prose reminds me of reporting more so than literature. Not as emotionally visceral as the story could have been in another author's hands but matter of factly conveys the gravity of winter settling on the community even before the apocalyptic nature of this particular winter becomes clear. It's such a great addition to and refreshing take on the genre, quiet and community focused, refusing to celebrate the lone hero with a fort and a gun.
