Great, spooky read for those winter months. Learned a lot about life in arctic conditions, and was pleasantly surprised by the queer representation. 

Only thing that let it down was the pacing being incredibly slow until the last 30 pages, but I feel this was intentional to reflect how the main character was experiencing the perpetual twilight of months without sun.
