5.0
A stream of consciousness masterpiece, Mind of Winter is written through the warped perception of a rapidly derailing Holly, who carries immense loss and grief with her. Kasischke builds the tension up high for a cathartic end, when the mind fortress Holly has built to keep herself safe from the horrors of reality comes crashing down.
