As far as Castillo is concerned, ‘La Chica de Nieve’ is also a commentary on modern-day journalism, which prioritizes sensationalism over ethics and commitment to society. While Miren tries to find Amaya as a responsible and committed journalist, her superior only tries to take advantage of her connections with the case to sensitize the information she garners for the commercial good of the newspaper. The author also wanted to emphasize the significance of “local journalism” through Merin’s efforts to find Amaya, especially when the latter is just one of the hundreds or thousands of missing children for a national journalist to deeply care about. As the harsh weather conditions worsen, Grandpa falls gravely ill, but the doctor cannot reach him through the snow. Tasha knows that she must ask Alyana to bring winter to an end, but will this mean she will lose her only friend forever? I also could have lived without the woefully unformed Mabel, who could only say: “Oh,” over and over again, but who sketched like John James Audubon (again, just like the protagonist in THE BRIGHT EDGE OF THE WORLD).
The Snow Girl by Sophie Anderson, Melissa Castrillon
Ivey has written a magical story, and it even includes a possible explanation for Faina’s presence. But we don’t really buy that, do we? We like the fairy tale. And this is a magical place. It was beautiful, Mabel knew, but it was a beauty that ripped you open and scoured you clean so that you were left helpless and exposed, if you lived at all.
A story of death, magic and the afterlife told by Marinka, who is desperate not to follow in her grandmother’s footsteps and wants to find her own destiny. Loosely based on the Slavic myth of Baba Yaga, this story is delightfully macabre and utterly engrossing. because i almost don't wanna review this. this book was such a beautiful journey, and taking place as it does over a number of years, there are naturally high and low points, emotionally.

This is not an uncommon beginning to folk tales, a simple introductory line which can (and in Eowyn Ivey's The Snow Child does) condense into a few simple words the years of pain, sadness, and intense longing for something that nature refused to give despite desperate desire. "Where else in life, Mabel wondered, could a woman love so openly and with such abandon?"
i suppose i can give you some brief descriptions, for those of you who strangely don't see the cover and instantly think "must. read."

It's truly gratifying to come across a book that evokes the senses to such a degree that its flavor is brought to the palate. Such is the case with Eowyn Ivey's debut novel, The Snow Child. Infused with aspects of pine boughs, mountain herbs, woolen mittens and inspired by happenstance, it breathes new life into an old Russian children's tale Ivey stumbled upon in her bookstore. Not much happens in the book plot-wise. Some of the most enchanting parts are also the quietest. It's like peering into a snow-globe - the scenery does not change; yet, there's something so captivating in simply watching the glitter settle, and also this feeling of fragility, like how the world inside the globe could shatter in a single fall. We have to warn you that, as with many other books, The Snow Girl is also going to be adapted to a real image. Specifically, it has been Netflix who has been interested to get the rights and record a series.This is a beautifully written book. The Snow Child is inspired by the Russian folktale in which a childless elderly couple make a snowchild that comes to life as a young girl. Ivey's use of the folktale is multilayered and inventive, and works very well in the book's setting of Alaska in the 1920s.
