I really enjoyed Bitter Snow.  Even though almost all of the plot takes place within one day, I don't think that any part of the novella was dragged out.  The descriptions were magical and I could totally relate to Gilly, the main character of the series.  I absolutely adored the setting of Bitter Snow.  The town Gilly lives in is a quaint little town still following ageless traditions, such as the running of the demons.I also really enjoyed the fairy tale aspect of the story.  I am not familiar with The Snow Queen, but Lauren Sweet does an excellent jobs giving readers a brief, but informative background about the beautiful, but deadly Snow Queen who haunts the  dark woods and frosted landscapes.There are definitely some mysterious characters that pop up in the story as well...there's one in particular who I bet is going to play a bigger role in the following volumes of the series.Bitter Snow strongly reminded me of The Iron King, another series that I liked reading.  There's a hint of magic in the air...perfect for the holiday seasons!  I look forward to volume two and three of the series being published.***a free copy was given in exchange for an honest review***
