MORE SEXUAL TENSION THAT YOU CAN SHAKE A STICK AT. I feel a little bit like a very shouty man in an informercials. I’m sure you’re picking up Labyrinth parallels.īut if the possibility of some David Bowie fantasies doesn’t tempt you, Wintersong also has elements of: Because hello…she’s dealing with the Goblin King.
Elisabeth is tasked with trying to save her, but it’s a lose/lose game to be quite honest. As the veil between the Underground and the human world reaches its thinnest, Elisabeth’s sister is kidnapped by the Goblin King to be his bride. Elisabeth has a gift as well, the gift of composition, but because she’s a girl, her father scolds her for spending time on her musical creations instead of being responsible and helping with the care and running of their inn.Įlisabeth’s grandmother is rather superstitious and warns the girls about the Goblin King, which causes vague, childhood memories to surface in Elisabeth’s mind. Her brother is the talented one, training to becoming a master violinist.
Her sister is the beautiful one, getting married to Liesl’s crush. Elisabeth, or Liesl, is the oldest of three children and an innkeeper’s daughter. Wintersong takes places in historically set Bavaria (19th century, I believe). There is a sequel, which comes out in 2018 (* sobbing*), so I hope you’re picking up what I’m putting down.īefore we can get into the super good stuff, here’s the basics. However, I will issue a vague warning on how everything ends.
You won’t be able to stop reading it until your eyes start to cross and you find yourself reading the same sentence over and over.
This is definitely a book that drags you into it. The prose is beautiful, lyrical, and it seems to surrounded you. Jae-Jones has been broadcasted on my Twitter and I even made a super delicious cocktail for it. This may be the hardest review I’ve ever had to write because there are just so many things trying to escape my mind at one time. Genre: Science Fiction/Fantasy, Young Adult
