It was well written, with good characters. But at the same time it was very sad, and still leaves you with a ton of questions.

This book has was slow and incredibly sad. I loved it. The descriptions of Alaska are breathtaking and frightening. I felt like I was living alongside the characters, and I generally do not like description-heavy books.
