The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas
3.5
adventurous dark emotional mysterious reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Beautiful, poetic prose. Tragic. Dealing with the loss of a friend. The story felt disjointed to me and the ending is so vague that it left me frustrated a bit.
