Winter’s Child had the most breathtaking storytelling. Plus, she too had a lot of strength, selflessness, and resilience, and I really admired her character. I loved Deidre, sad and searching though she was, seeing her character develop and grow was as rewarding as a bar of Hershey’s dark chocolate. I loved Kai’s quiet strength, his deep thoughts, and his swiftness to help someone he hardly knew. I loved Grace’s outgoing spirit, her thirst for freedom, and her faithful heart. These charries were wonderful! All three of the mains were intriguing, carefully developed, real-feeling people with individual wants, dreams, and problems. There’s a brilliant twist towards the end, and I can’t say more because, spoilers, but it is awesome, and it ended perfectly, and I adore the couples. This book has one of the most marvelous romances I’ve read in months. Well, I gotta say, Winter’s Child pleased me.

Or at least hard to please in the love department. Having reviewed several romances on this blog, you all probably know that I’m a bit of a cynic. Told from the POVs of three different characters, all the plotlines still came together beautifully, and I loved travelling with them from beginning to end.

Then we hit the prologue again, and off we went on an amazing fantasy adventure. Winter’s Child had a very intriguing opening: a sort of prologue that started at the end of the beginning, before the story backtracked to tell the origins of the three mains. When Grace discovers Kai is gone, she learns how much she has lost and sets out on a mystical journey to find Kai… and discover herself. Grace yearn for freedom and slowly begins to push Kai–and their friendship–awayĭejected Kai dreams of a dazzling Snow Queen, who entices him to leave home and wander to faraway lands. But when they turn sixteen and Kai declares his love for Grace, everything changes. They grew up together, listening to magical tales spun by Grace’s grandmother and sharing in each other’s secrets. Winter’s Child is still amazing.įree-spirited Grace and serious Kai are the best of friends. Totally not intentionally, here’s another with the same basic elements, but without the vikings. Hey, it’s Alexa! Last week, I reviewed a book involving snow, ice, and magic.
