Mesmerizing.

A beautiful written, thoughtful, and deeply moving novel which deals with the most profound questions ... who are we, and how will we live our lives, as individuals and as societies?

Incidentally, I listened to this novel on Audible and the reader was superb. Recommended.

My second book by this multi award winning SF fantasy author. And my last. The last moment of the book, wonderful and satisfying as it was, doesn't make up for the repetitive action, dialogue, people, everything.

Vivid historical whodunnit set in the winter wilds of northern Canada in the late 1800s. An absorbing page turner, with interesting characters and sub plots. It made the cold and desolate north very real to me, sitting in my snow covered house under a blanket. Sometimes the language is anachronistic, but just plow past it and enjoy the story, and the generally good prose. A great vacation book.

Meh. Loved the Swedish tv programs of these books. But I found this a bit tedious.
