What readers say
Selected comments from readers of The Wolf and the Snow.
★★★★★
“I started it thinking it would be just another young-adult adventure, and it surprised me enormously. The 1931 Norway setting, the cold, and the relationship between Max and Thorvald are all very well constructed. There are some genuinely harsh and moving moments.”
— Giulia Moretti
★★★★★
“The Norse stories Thorvald tells Max were among my favourite parts. Odin, Sigurd, Brunhild... are woven into the story and never feel like explanations forced into the narrative. They made me want to read more about these myths.”
— José A. Mas
★★★★★
“The relationship between Max and Skoll is beautiful. The scene on the frozen river had me completely on edge. I also loved how the forest and the cold almost seem like characters in their own right.”
— Elena Ionescu
★★★★★
“I loved the scenes between Max and Eira. There is something mysterious and calm about her that contrasts sharply with Thorvald. I hope she becomes even more important in the following books.”
— Elise De Smet
★★★★★
“Family secrets, Norse mythology, chases, and an exceptionally convincing atmosphere. I found the story of Thorvald’s family particularly harrowing. I finished it wanting to start the second book immediately.”
— Alfred Lynch
