Well, this was completely unnecessary because it’s basically “snow always sucked, even if he went though hard times too.” Wasn’t a terrible read, but didn’t need it

Lovely and emotional story, really enjoyed the writing, even if it felt a little melodramatic at times. The characters are pretty broken, so it fit well

I definitely enjoyed this book a whole lot, even while I also think it was a bit overhyped.

Didn’t like this as much as the first book, but still a good ride. And damn, Rebecca really likes cliffhangers, huh?

Very enjoyable, glad I hopped on the bandwagon for this one, haha. It wasn’t particularly surprising, I guessed where multiple things were going, but enjoyable read.

A good ending to Valen and Elise’s story, even if it did feel a little ass pull-y at the end there.

Perfectly fine. Didn’t blow me away, but I also squealed exactly one time. Kind of thought there would be more spice, but it’s def not the focus of this book.
