Another old story that was new to me.

In short: this is a gem. A small, winter-bright, bittersweet gem. The prose is beautifully evocative, the pace unhurried and measured, and flows just so. The character voices are pitch perfect, and it hurts, but in the best of ways, and there's comfort enough to counter the hurt.

If you ever shipped wolfstar, do yourself a favour and read this. You won't be disappointed.
