A review by readermonica
Winter Water by Susanne Jansson

medium-paced

1.0

This was a 2-3 star read for me all the way up until a scene towards the end where the main character Martin does something so cruel to a cat that it literally made me gasp when I read it. I don't really care what reason was given for what he did, I don't think that it in any way, shape, or form was necessary to have been added in and did nothing but make me want to stop reading. I am not an overly sensitive reader and I found that scene jarring and upsetting. I don't understand why it wasn't edited out, it did nothing to move the story forward or portray the depth of Martin's grief. I can't recommend anyone pick this one up and it is entirely due to that scene.

I received a review copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
