An enchanting fairytale, where animals talk, trolls cast enchantment spells on bears and young girls with no name aren't afraid to stand up for whats right.
Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow was an interesting read and not having delved into many folk or fairytales, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised. It was wonderfully told, the world building was beautiful, from the small cabin where Lass lives, to the stark ice castle that she now calls home and everything in between. Considering Lass was born into borderline impoverished conditions, her sense of wonder and adventure were enchanting and I found myself invested in her story and the world around her.
At times I found myself wondering where on earth this fable retelling would take me, but it was impossible to put down. It was ridiculously entertaining. My only complaint is the cover, it's not among the worst I've seen, but when most of us are guilty of cover lust, it really doesn't represent how enchanting the story actually is. I would love to see something whimsy, dreamlike and artistic. A cover worthy of a magical fairytale.
