Thank you, Christine, so much for this thoughtful and generous review. I’m delighted that the Arctic setting, the Saami elements, and Jack’s strange journey worked for you.
You’ve also touched on something very important to me — that difficult space between the supernatural, spiritual belief, nature, and human consequence. That was very much where I hoped the story would live.
Your personal connection with Saami ancestry makes your response especially meaningful. I’m very glad the setting and cultural atmosphere felt right to you.
And thank you for the suggestion about including notes on what is factual and what is fictional. That’s a very useful idea, and one I’ll seriously consider.
Thank you again for reading the advance copy and for taking the time to write such a detailed review.
