Beautiful, beautiful art. The watercolors often feel like a hug but evoke a certain sense of dread in the darker scenes.
I know the story is a bit confusing if you aren't familiar with Finnish folklore, but I didn't really mind that. I like myths that are subtler in their themes but really grab hold of you the more you sit with them.
The story is wonderfully eerie and made me crave winter. It perfectly suits my taste for something bordering on cosmic horror at times. Can't wait to reread.
