Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick
4.0

I was so afraid all the loose ends wouldn't come together, but I was so pleased when they did!
I've never read a book like this before, so the style of story telling seemed super creative. 7 separate stories progressing backward through time gets a little confusing, especially when the same names and motifs keep popping up in different but overlapping ways. It did make for some compelling reading as I was anxious to see how everything fit together. Fortunately some pieces do unfold along the way, so it's definitely not one of those nothing-makes-sense-until-the-end stories.
