Not many books have such rich settings and well-fleshed characters to make their worlds feel so present and real, but I truly feel like I spent the past five days in Hatchet Inlet. It's not even a real place, but I've been there; I've felt the cold and seen the views and eaten the food, and I've gotten to know the people and all their lovable quirks. This book didn't quite turn out to be the book I was expecting, as I thought there would be more focus on Rauri's disappearance, and less on the other characters' inner lives, but that wasn't a negative—I cared about the three main characters a lot, and was fiercely rooting for them. I'd say the only drawback was that the alternating POVs slowed things down a bit, but that didn't stop me from being thoroughly absorbed by the story. I really enjoyed this one.
