The feeling of snowfall, simultaneously beautiful and oppressive has lingered with me. I did appreciate the story and images of winter. I know, I know, it was a spell or.something? But I don't like cheating, even when it's fairy-induced. I also don't tend to love the cruel whimsy of fairies, so there's that working against it too. I don't like that, and that intangibility will make this a story that does not stick with me very long, like a dream that already starts disappearing and not making sense as soon as you wake up. I feel like there was a lot of "Because, fairies" and not much else of substance provided. I don't feel like I have a firm explanation on why some things happened the way they did, or even on what exactly happened in a few cases. Patricia Anne McKillip (born February 29, 1948) is an American author of fantasy and science fiction novels, which have been winners of the World Fantasy Award, the Locus Award, and the Mythopoeic Award. I'm not a reader who likes the "dreamscape" feeling, so I really didn't like McKillip's foggy, dreamy wanderings into the vague fairy world. It is on one hand evocative and mood-setting, while on the other hand bloated and annoying.
