Absolutely bizarre story. The endless winter has somehow been both eternal and five years.
The endgame villain is an animal spirit defending the environment.
The main character (and narrative) is needlessly cruel to her older sister in a way that felt very Narnia to me.
A major character dies and it's just nothing.
