I will never be over how a book about a town trapped in winter managed to warm my heart so much. This book was absolutely adorable and everything I have come to expect from F.T. Lukens. For starters, I loved the characters. Knox was such a fun person and I loved his bucket list of human teenage things to do. But Ellery was my favorite. They had such amazing development, learning to put themselves first and trust those around them. They also have so much love, kindness, grit, and determination in their heart. It was impossible not to adore them. Of course, the side characters were also fantastic, and I loved the weird little found family that was created over the course of the book. As for the plot, I found it a bit predictable because of how it follows a well known myth, but I still enjoyed the little moments along the way. The ending was almost perfect, with great resolution for Ellery and Knox. However, I wanted a bit more resolution for Ellery and their parents. But overall this book was absolutely adorable and I highly recommend it.
