That his religion is buried in the silence of freshly fallen snow, in a carefully crafted cocktail, in between the pages of a book somewhere after the beginning but before the ending.

I will forever be in awe with how masterfully Erin juggles multiple storylines. She is so good at creating several threads and making sure that she ties them all off by the very end of the novel; she’s even better at choosing when to withhold information and when to give it freely. This makes for such a FUN and REWARDING reading experience which serves the audiobook format perfectly (in my opinion all her work is better experienced in audiobook form). 

All in all, Erin is an author that I’ve grown to wholeheartedly trust—even if I don’t quite understand why a new perspective is being brought into the narrative at the moment, I know for a fact that it will all be worthwhile in the end.
