Instead of a fast-paced thriller, this feels more apocalyptic and dystopian. Right off the bat, Snowflakes is strikingly different from any Ruth Ware book I’ve read before. This dystopian, apocalyptic story eventually reaches a climax of invasion and battle, but it leads to some unexpected revelations, too. But the father is also increasingly worried about invaders, and devotes his time to building a wall around their island home. They farm and grow animals the dad occasionally takes his boat back to mainland to scavenge for materials. Although their mother was killed on that last, fateful night, the father and four kids were able to escape.įor the past decade, the family has lived hidden away from the world they once knew. They left their home in the city when war forced them out. It’s told from the perspective of Leah, a teenager who’s spent the last 10 years of her life on a secluded island with her dad, sister, and two brothers. Snowflakes is quite unlike any other Ruth Ware novel (or short story) that I’ve read. This short story is part of a six-book serious on Amazon Audible called Hush.
Following her new ebook, We Will Be Watching, I just listened to her recent audiobook, Snowflakes. To further indulge my love of everything Ruth Ware, I decided it was the perfect time to check out her two recent short stories.
Yesterday I finished the excellent One By One by Ruth Ware.
