As someone who absolutely loves The Winternight Trilogy, I went into The Warm Hands of Ghosts with high expectations but the story fell flat for me.
The writing style was stilted and I found it difficult to connect with Laura. I liked Freddie’s POV and wish Laura was completely cut out because I never found myself invested in her as a character.
It’s obvious that Katherine Arden researched a lot about the setting but unfortunately the characters and plot just didn’t do it for me.
Thank you to Random House and Netgalley for providing an ARC.
