From the bestselling author of THE GIRL OF INK & STARS comes a gorgeous wintry folk tale for young and old alike - an exciting adventure to the frozen north, perfect for fans of Philip Pullman. 'This gorgeous story of bravery, sisterhood, goodbyes and beginnings is a must for everyone.' JESSIE BURTON 'The Way Past Winter is a masterclass in exquisite storytelling.' CATHERINE DOYLE 'Gorgeous, heartfelt and incredibly exciting. Her best yet, and that's saying something.' ROBIN STEVENS Mila and her sisters live with their brother Oskar in a small forest cabin in the snow. One night, a fur-clad stranger arrives seeking shelter for himself and his men. But by the next morning, they've gone - taking Oskar with them. Fearful for his safety, Mila and her sisters set out to bring Oskar back - even it means going north, crossing frozen wild-lands to find a way past an eternal winter.

I like Mila because she’s very brave and courageous and she sticks with her opinion even when her sister Sanna keeps telling her that she’s not right. This mesmeric tale will have you tangled in this beautifully written story. It has been thought through very carefully and it is a great story about three sisters on a wild journey to rescue their brother who has been captured by Bjorn. You could read this spectacular book by Kiran Millwood Hargrave in one go. Some people might even read it five times in a row.

I quite enjoyed this winter read. My favourite character was Milenka. I would recommend it to someone else who enjoys reading fantasy books.
