This was Labyrinth by way of Angela Carter, and I think my soul has been aching for a book like WINTERSONG for the last decade. Deliciously romantic with a nuanced Goblin King figure (fancast: Tom Hiddleston) and a strong heroine, this story was rife with fairytales and music and enchantment. It's also more than a little sexy. No complaints here.Liesl has always been a responsible older sister, looking after her younger sister Kathe and sacrificing her own dreams for her brother Josef. Lisel will never be beautiful like Kathe is and her music will forever live in the shadow of Josef's virtuoso abilities. Though she longs to give into her own desires, she forces herself to be self sacrificing. Then strange things begin to happen and Kathe disappears and no one but Liesl remembers she even exists. Though her grandma always told them
Once there was a little girl who played her music for a little boy in the wood. She was small and dark, he was tall and fair, and the two of them made a fancy pair as they danced together, dancing to the music the little girl heard in her head. I take back what I said about thinking every other 1-star read by me is the most boring book ever, because this was, by far, the most boring book I have ever read. The fact that I actually finished it is so surprising to me because I thought about DNF
2 stars. (edit: this book popped back up on my feed today, and considering how livid even thinking about it makes me, I'm bumping my rating down another half star. I really am still being generous here.)Mmmmmmmmmm I have a lot of thoughts and feelings about this book.I was so sure I was going to love this. The blurb made it sound so mysterious and creepy and intriguing: a young musician gets caught up with evil goblins who steal her sister, and she has to find a way into a dark underworld to
You are the monster I claim. Dark and poetic.Frightening. Seductive. Beautiful.I claim this beautiful tale, I claim the sorrow, the dreams, the wildness, the magic, the darkness and the pain that consumed me.I loved it. Once there was a little girl who played her music for a little boy in the wood. But the girl grew up, and forgot about the boy. She continued her life as if he never existed, she kept her family together, composed her music in the dark and wished, for attention, for
WINTERSONG is a maze of beauty and darkness, of music and magic and glittering things, all tied together with exquisite writing. This is a world you will want to stay lost in. I had the honor of hearing about this wonderful story in its earliest stages, and I'm so thrilled and excited that S. Jae-Jones' work will soon be out for you all to obsess over. Don't you dare skip this.
This is a story about a brave maiden. This is a story of a tragedy. This is a story about the power of love. This is a story about the compassion and love and sacrifice between siblings. This is a story about selfishness and selflessness. This is the story of the greatest sacrifice. This is a story about life. Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell.This book is magical. The writing is exquisite. The world is so encompassing and real. The characters are flawed and selfish and selfless and
