Score 3 - the title is very plausible, but to me it carries an air of ‘fiction without fantasy’

Score 4 - doesn’t seem like your classic orcs and dragons fantasy, but that feel like this could be a really interesting view into learning about Inuit fantasy and lore, and getting insight into their culture. Guess instead of South of Midnight its North of Noon?

Score 3, doesn’t quite fit my take on fantasy but overall not bad

Score 2, the title makes it seem like a novel about arctic archaeology rather than fantasy.

Score 3. ‘Critique’ (I understand that it’s part of the flavour text not the title, don’t @ me)

Score 3. Nice title, but doesn’t feel like a fantasy title.

Score 3 - I think i get the fantasy look? but in the sense that im not entirely sure about if it is more history book than fantasy book.

Score 2 for sounding like it may have been misfiled in the wrong section of the bookshop, with the flavour text compounding that.

This is a good example of a non-Eurocentric view of what “fantasy” could be. Score 4.
