I grew up in a warm place. I'm not super fond of the cold. But setting the theme and gender aside, the entire sequence from the escape from the camp all the way to the arrival in Karhide is so vivid and memorable. That kind of thing isn't sophisticated enough to get you points in the critical sphere, but it's a wonderful piece of writing.
