The Wood at Midwinter by Susanna Clarke
reflective
fast-paced
3.0
Cosy and whimsical short story with strong Christmas vibes. The audiobook production is lovely: the music and woodland sounds really add to the experience. At little over 30 minutes long (including the author's afterword), I wasn't really expecting a lot of depth but it still felt way too short to convey everything the author suggested in her note. The concept and characters are interesting, and the setting fascinating, but they needed just a little more space to really work for me. Susanna Clarke's writing is always impeccable though, and this really made me want to catch up on Piranesi.
