Briant Farnsworth's Reviews > Songs of Snow

This was a very enjoyable book. I wasn't sure at first as the main characters seemed to linger too long in obstinance. But the story was captivating to get me through that, and as it went along, the various moral dilemmas they faced throughout the story felt genuine and serious. They were not simply contrived or easily passed through, and that made the story that much more interesting. Nearing the end, I couldn't figure out how the book could wrap up without going into sequels or trilogies, but it tied together the loose ends very well, and was a satisfying read. I almost wished it were a trilogy, as it'd be fun to continue along the adventures of these characters. By adding not only nordic/icelandic myths and legends, but also creating her own, the author really added depth and texture to the book, which I loved.

Definitely a recommendation - worth your time.
