I got this as a Christmas present and didn't know what to expect from it. It's a gay futuristic retelling of the Snow Queen, with something of a love triangle at the middle, and a whole lot of extremely interesting manipulative choices made by characters. I think my main critique of it is that there could definitely have been a more deeply explored backstory and worldbuilding in general; it's a novella that could have, and perhaps should have, been fleshed out into a novel. This was especially true for me in terms of how it approached gender and identity--there was more there than got fully explored, I think. But overall I enjoyed it!
