Loved the worldbuilding here and how the narrative actually realistically grappled with the implications of a prolonged winter. The way the supernatural was integrated into the mundane world was also great - I'm a sucker for that trope. And Knox and Ellery were both really interesting characters (the whole cast was wonderful, to be fair) and I thought their relationship was very sweet. The third act conflict was also EXCELLENT, with logical high stakes, great pay offs, and well-crafted tension.
