Winter is not coming - winter is here! In the near future, climate changes have led to short-term extreme weather conditions. Cities that have never been covered in snow now resemble Nordic countries. The situation is slowly getting out of control as the system collapses. Trees are disappearing, food is running out. Citizens are becoming desperate, axes invaluable.
The beginning was not really welcoming, but after a few pages, the cold atmosphere grabbed me.
This is a nice post-apocalyptic short story about a man who has difficulties to adjust to the new world. Every day becomes a fight, against the weather or the people, and when you're just a normal person, it can be complicated to keep breathing. We follow the hero during a walk outside, discovering the dystopian atmosphere through his feelings, his hopes and his fears.
It's well written with a good pace and pleasant to read.
