Customers praise this historical horror novel for its fleshed-out story based on factual events, richly detailed writing, and well-realized characters. The book creates a genuine sense of dread, with one customer noting its amazing job of creating a tone of dread, while others appreciate how it brings the arctic chill to life. However, the pacing receives mixed reactions, with customers noting it takes time to ramp up, and the book's length is criticized for being almost 1000 pages long.
