ellemaddy 's review for:
Wolf Winter
by Cecilia Ekbäck
what kind of ending was that!!!!!
this book was so gooooood. it was really atmospheric and it kinda reminds me a little bit of burial rites (which i really loved). Near the ending i was so close to giving this book 5 stars but then so much things got left unresolved, it kind of ended with a cliffhanger and it ruined the perfection.
The thing that bothered me was, what the hell happened with paavo? I thought something bad happened to him but apparently nothing happened to him. Second of all, this book has this black magic-ish kind of feel, but it goes absolutely nowhere. Some things were mentioned, things that felt important but there werent any explanation about them in the end. I really don't know how to explain but it's like it's almost there, but it's not ya dig? I just feel like it just doesn't live up to its potential, i guess?
About the characters: i love maija, she's just really strong and she's determined and i just adore her. To live with just two of her daughter and survived the winter with no one's help? That was amazing. I'm also kind of sad that i don't get to know what's going to happen to the priest because i got really invested to him (especially after i found out he wasn't a priest, after all!) All the characters were amazing, they're not flat and they just feel real to me, and again the atmosphere, man, what a beautiful read.
Would definitely tell all my friends and relatives to read this book.
