This may be the most beautiful book I've ever read.

The descriptions of the Alaskan landscape, flora and fauna, weather patterns and animals were so beautiful. I never thought I would be eager for that place, but Eowyn's prose was so lovingly rendered and gorgeous, it made me want to visit Alaska again.

The characters were well-wrought and absolutely lovable. The mysterious snow child and her roots in fairy tale offered just the right amount of magic and mystery.

I loved the beautiful surprises that came near the end (trying not to be a spoiler!). So delightful.

So sad and beautiful at the same time.

I highly recommend this book, in case it's not already obvious!
