Re-reading a fave to jumpstart my TBR for October-November.

First Read: ★★★★
This book is brilliant.
You'll understand everything in the end.
Or better yet, read all of it backwards and save the first chapter for last.
Highly recommended.
Second Read: ★★★★ 4.5
Just as memorable as the first time. Midwinterblood is the book I keep recommending people because it is so well-written yet sadly underrated. My favorite parts about the plot is when a detail is tied in to another time period but isn't revealed until later. It will always have a special place in my heart.
“I feel like we’ve done this before,” he says, intently. “But a long time ago. A very long time ago.”
She’s gone, under the water again.
Eric thinks about his life, something he usually avoids, because it has not always been an easy one. He wonders if a few moments of utter and total joy can be worth a lifetime of struggle.
Maybe, he thinks. Maybe, if they’re the right moments.
