A historical novel with fantasy elements mostly about a woman protecting herself and her mentally handicapped son. The style and tone is typical of older fantasy and fits this story perfectly. The book is calm and character-focused but there is always a sense of threat. I love how the main characters aren't the typical protagonists we get in modern fantasy books: a single mum varry of posessive men, unsure how to raise her son best, and a reindeer herder struggling with societies expectations and developing a fondness for said son. The atmosphere and setting is on point, the characters well done, though the overall writing isnt as strong as in later books by the author.
