There are books that explain the world. And there are those that simply let you stand on the edge—where the precipice isn't terrifying, the waterfall tame. It's from such a cliff, seemingly designed solely for escape, that this book begins.
"Nevermore" and "The Winter Switch" are two stories about searching for missing people, when disappearance doesn't always mean death, and finding doesn't always mean salvation. Here, the heroes are able to read other people's dreams and pain, venture into a forest that "shouldn't have appeared," pull girls designated as victims from the thicket, and learn not to destroy the world around them with a single, uneven breath.
This is prose about growing up through responsibility for others, when the only way to avoid drowning is to think not of yourself, but of someone who needs to be brought home. It's about the fragile line between "I care" and "I hide behind someone else's misfortune." It's about how being with someone in the dark, without fire, is already a heroic achievement, even if you're not sure you'll live to see dawn.
Yadrentseva writes as if she's speaking directly to you, in a low voice, sometimes faltering and questioning herself—and there's more truth in this uncertainty than in any confident tone. This book is for those who have already understood that growing up means one day ceasing to be the one being saved and becoming the one who goes into the forest after someone else.
