I'm still going to wait to read this until it's snowy and in the middle of winter here by me. The main reason that this story has intrigued me is because of its connections to the Russian fairy tale. I know basically nothing about Russian folklore, but anything related to a fairy tale will immediately catch my attention.<br />Thanks for pointing out the somber tone though - that's something I'll have to keep in mind.<br />Glad you enjoyed this one overall, Hannah!Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-20789277783847933022013-11-06T15:27:03.682-05:002013-11-06T15:27:03.682-05:00Ah, I've seen this cover around too and I had ...Ah, I've seen this cover around too and I had NO idea what it was about. It sounds incredible and I feel like Magan would enjoy this one too? I will send her this review. I don't think I've read anything set in Alaska before, and even your review has this fairy tale quality to it. Must put this on my list.

I've seen it before, but never actually read a review for it, so it was great to hear your thoughts. I might just have to check it out!Alexa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13185723439360170259noreply@blogger.com
