Review:
I quite liked this book. I've had it on my shelves for a while and I'm glad I finally got around to reading it.
I absolutely love the setting of Alaska in this book. You get such a good sense of the place and the time and you can really feel how the seasons shift throughout the story. I enjoyed reading about the characters, although I preferred reading about some over others, and I really like how the novel slowly reveals how they're connected and brings them all together in the end.
I had a bit of a rocky time in the beginning of this though. I had a hard time telling some characters apart and I felt like I kept falling out of the story every time I put it down. By the time I felt like everything was in place and I was enjoying myself, the book was over, so that was a bit of a shame. I kind of wish it was longer.
I really like the concept of this book and the issues it brings up, but I'm left with a feeling of it all being spread a bit too thin. It's one of those books I can remember having enjoyed now, but in a year, I will probably have forgotten everything in it except the parts about Alaska.
