Less cosy than the other books but contains lots of prompts for reflection. I love the Groke’s storyline in this book.

This was by far my least favourite in the series. I came in for some fun light moomin adventure time and I received depression, sadness and melancholy. This is almost an alternate universe moomin story. I like the dry jokes and dark humour we get in these books but here there was not a single smile, it was just slow and long and quite frankly morose…
