I don’t know why, but I expected this to be a cosy winter read. It is not. While reading I felt a sense of looming disaster, an always present uneasiness. It felt like the dark side of a fairytale if that makes sense. Probably not. Don’t worry, just read the book.
I will get goosebumps next time it snows. A book I will be thinking about for a while.
