A cosy catastrophe, building off the post-apocalyptic world established in Moon of the Crusted Snow, but not necessarily in a way that captivates or intrigues.
The story feels aimless, with little to no real stakes and a climax that feels anything but.
There is a place for this book, and a need for voices such as Rice’s and what he writes, but it still just feels a bit flat.

Sadly, a little dull especially compared to Crusted Snow. The writing is very plain and the plot is slow. It has its place, but so far not for me.
