*I received a copy in return for my honest review*
Grimdark. That is the word I'd use for this book. I understand it is a brutal world of eternal winter, but I feel that could have been shown in better ways.
--Something besides child sex slavery. And nearly everyone making up the world being horrible monsters with no other personality traits other than that.
The writing itself was fine, but the characters felt very not like people and instead caricatures. I can't get behind a character that wipes out an "evil foreigner" camp and acts like it's no big deal when talking to their orphans, and then leaving them behind to fend for themselves.
Or someone named Winterberry amongst all of this.
