Some slow and fast paced parts of the book. The book gave me chill-paced low profile fantasy vibes. It was enjoyable and an easy read and one that I wanted to really take the time to savour.

A wonderful book, with a landscape that breathes off the page and seems to make the very air around you colder, about love, loss and the fine line in between. Raw and sincere, I loved this with all my heart and I don’t think any other book ever transported me to a place as well as this book did with Alaska. It really was like a fairytale❤️❤️

The Snow Child is an intimate and intricately tale of grief, of belonging, and of the varying notions of family. Inspired by its namesake in the Russian fairytale, the novel seamlessly blends fantastical ideas with extremely human circumstance, all while providing the reader in-and-out with a close-up look at the Alaskan landscape and lifestyle. While it felt a little unevenly paced, especially at the back half of the book, the story certainly is gripping and inviting to any reader who gives Jack and Mabel a place in their heart.

This was a wonderful book. I was surprised by how much I loved it even more as it went on. Emotional, being in a new place, dealing with grief, the hope of magic and a new life. Overall it's wonderful. I don't have a great reason to not give it 5 stars, maybe because I don't want to shout it from the mountains that it should be required reading for everyone, but I really don't have any criticisms. It turns out to be quite a beautiful story in the end. The author does a wonderful job describing the Alaskan wilderness and the beauty of nature. You hope and wish for all these characters' happiness and peace. Magical and mysterious and overall a wonderful lovely joy.
