I liked the part where the main guy gets his teeth knocked out and he and his hilf beloved consider whether he will get his teeth back in the afterlife.

Weird thing I noticed after rereading this is its similarities to the larger plot of Game of Thrones

Both are centered around long winters, a large wall with "barbarians" on the northern side and the political tension that causes to the people living more happily in the guarded castles and cities. The Gaal are like the people who live above the wall in GoT and the Hilfs live the poor nomads who live outside the cities but south of the wall. They are all united in the end against an even worse personification of the long winter.

snowghouls = White Walkers this seems like it was taken just strait out of the book without much change lol.

I am a bit Rust on both GoT and I have not read Planet of Exile in quite some time but I need to do a deeper dive into this.
