Where to begin with this…

Before I read this, I did see some of the reviews about the allegories in the book.  To me, I feel like everything was relatively subtle - some where obviously more straight forward, but as someone who isn’t religious it was fine

I really enjoyed the character Zane. He reminded me of Jack from Rise of the Guardians. I am a bit disappointed that Helen still couldn’t read any thing from the texts (though they didn’t really look at them by the end) but maybe that’ll be brought up in the rest of the series?

All in all, I would recommend this book. I feel like it was more taking winter folktales with some religious undertone. And as someone who usually DNF’s heavy religious books when they’re way more in your face, I enjoyed this one
