The Solstice Cabin by Arden Powell
3.0
Powell's books seem to appeal more to me when they're a little darker and a lot longer. This is very much a cosy romance fuelled by miscommunication and, at less than 100 pages, pretty unsatisfying. I finished this a few days ago an honestly can't remember how it ended, like I didn't actually finish it.
I thought the magic theory was kind of interesting but, even though this is the 4th book in the series, I feel like it isn't explained very well at this point. Are everyone's powers tied to an/the element(s)? If Amaruq fought off the urge to go north, would it kill him or just be uncomfortable? Also following someone on foot thousands of miles in the snow is insane, no matter how much you love them.
I love Powell's writing but the plots of this series have left me disappointed. I hope they write some longer books this year more in the vein of [b:The Faerie Hounds of York|54835251|The Faerie Hounds of York|Arden Powell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1597249935l/54835251._SY75_.jpg|85550648] or [b:The Bayou|56424673|The Bayou|Arden Powell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1609006665l/56424673._SY75_.jpg|87983396].
