I really liked this book! It contains so many things I love:

- queer rep (aspec and achillean)
- disability rep (especially Waardenburg Syndrome, Post-Concussion Syndrome, Brown-Séquard Syndrome)
- all main characters are queer and disabled
- queerplatonic triad
- found family
- cute horses
- lots of animal saving
- cozy winter atmosphere
- historical Scandinavian setting (Norway 1904)
- rebelling against outdated traditions

4 out of 5 stars! Go pre-order it!
