This book has magic. I have aphantasia, and it’s not as complete since ketamine therapy, but it’s still like a 4 (if zero is darkness and ten is photographic). But every time I picked this one up I was transported. I could feel the ice, and I could see the fur.
My feelings about the story itself are… complicated. I have a feeling I’ll be thinking of it for a while before I sort out what I really feel about it.

I really liked the beginning, like really liked the beginning, but a quarter of the way through it just became a bummer. I kept going bc things will get better, right? The foreshadowing was enticing, so I figured it’d be worth it in the end.
Then new characters are introduced, and with them came transphobia, truly awful SA (not that there’s any other kind), and explicit sexual scenes that frankly I didn’t want to read or need to read. No amount of foreshadowing could convince me to continue.
I had heard really good things about this book, and I want to support stories with diverse casts, but I simply felt like garbage reading it. It’s a no from me.
