This book has me giggling out loud in brand new ways and I really really like it!

I really enjoyed this book! The characters are enjoyable in all their different ways, the plot has a perfect level of things at stake, and the story and the world feels familiar and strange in a nice mix. The book is well written, and it feels easy to picture what's happening.
The book felt like a nice refuge, and a warm escape from current times in the real world, despite it all taking place in a frozen winter land.

aka things i’ve read that sent me into a full identity crisis 😃🔫
okay but fr some of y’all authors need to be put on a government watchlist for the stuff you’re writing 😭 i picked up a book thinking it was gonna be a cute lil romance and tell me why this girl ended up MARRYING her dad’s best friend?????
like. not crushing. not flirting. MARRYING. HER. DAD’S. BEST. FRIEND.
sir that is the man who watched you grow up???? he was at your 7th birthday party and now he’s your husband??? nah because that’s not a trope, that’s a CRIME SCENE 🚓🚓🚓
AND ANOTHER THING—can we have a moment of silence for the amount of step-sibling romances i’ve accidentally read bc y’all love to hide that info in the second half of the blurb 😐
like “they met one summer, fell in love, but then… their parents got married 😏” — HELLO??? that’s not forbidden romance, that’s THERAPY BAIT. why do they always find out after the kissing?? that’s not plot development, that’s trauma 💔
and i know some of you are gonna be like “they’re not blood related tho” but okay?? 😭 let’s be so serious
✨other tropes/random book things that need to be YEETED into the sun✨: —miscommunication that lasts 300 pages when one text could solve it (i’m tired) —the toxic emotionally unavailable guy who needs a girl to “save him” (sir get a journal and a therapist, not a girlfriend) —the “sHe’S oNLY 18 😏” paired with a 32-year-old man. LOCK. HIM. UP. —surprise secret baby. no bc that’s not a twist, that’s a whole tax bracket
🫡 can we bring back: —healthy tension with actual chemistry??? —friendships that matter?? —soft boys who journal and make playlists?? —banter that isn’t just bullying in disguise?? —main characters with hobbies besides just ✨breathing✨ and falling in love
i read books to escape reality, not to end up emotionally damaged AND confused 💀 anyway, i’m gonna go read fanfic where the characters act like humans again 🫶

So excited, I planned on starting this and WoT in November-ish! Any suggestions for the first crack at it? I've heard Guards Guards is a good starter for disc world.

Other people reading that she went to the arctic circle (I assume): Wooooow the darkness, the wildness, soooo far north!
Norwegians reading that she went to the arctic circle: What? Why would she stop there? There's four days of travelling - by car! - to get to the northern shores of mainland Norway from there, what, this doesn't
(Really loving the book so far though, I'm only poking for the fun of this 😬😅)

This book is a silently, sepia drawn story of a family moving to a different land than the one they came from. It does not resemble our world, and there are no understandable words in the story. Still, it speaks volumes about the world we live in, and the people inhabiting it, the challenges in having to break apart what we have and try to build up something someplace new.
Shaun Tan makes the most beautiful and strangely weird drawings, captivating, lovely and sad all at once. I really liked this book.

I love the way each person/creature is described. Maybe I just haven’t read a lot of this genre but everything feels so unique and cozy. Like I want to live here???
