A nice Christmas treat of a book.
It has a sorta slow start and then suddenly a lot is happening all at once (spoilers, but like, a fucking baby is born out of nowhere??? Not what I was expecting!)
It does have a happy ending, but o do feel the conflict was resolved rather quickly. It definitely build to something more over the book and then felt rushed in the final chapters.
Overall, if you want a quick Christmas read, this is a fine novel.
