The Ice Palace by Tarjei Vesaas
3.0
3.5
i accidentally keep reading books that somehow involve death, grief and loss. i'm not upset about it though, it's comforting, in some way.
this was beautifully written but it was a little difficult to follow. probably my fault though, grieving takes a huge toll on the brain which makes it even harder to focus on reading.
i did search up some interpretations of this novella right after reading it, and it seems like it really is a "the reader has to put the pieces together" kind of story. which usually, i like. but maybe wasn't a good choice for me right now.
overall, i enjoyed the story/atmosphere and writing!
