Wintersong
by S. Jae-Jones
Rating: 4.5/5
Genre: YA Fantasy/Romance
Recommended Age: 17+ (mature scenes, goblins, triggering scenes dealing with body weight)
I received this book at a bookstore that I have sense forgotten about! No disclaimer needed, I just thought I'd make one up.
The last night of the year. Now the days of winter begin and the Goblin King rides abroad, searching for his bride…
All her life, Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, dangerous Goblin King. They’ve enraptured her mind, her spirit, and inspired her musical compositions. Now eighteen and helping to run her family’s inn, Liesl can’t help but feel that her musical dreams and childhood fantasies are slipping away.
But when her own sister is taken by the Goblin King, Liesl has no choice but to journey to the Underground to save her. Drawn to the strange, captivating world she finds―and the mysterious man who rules it―she soon faces an impossible decision. And with time and the old laws working against her, Liesl must discover who she truly is before her fate is sealed. - Amazon.com
If you are a music lover, this book will make you very happy. It's so rich with music imagery that it sings to your soul as you read it. But beware of the haunting melody, for it surely must belong to the Goblin King. Needless to say, I thought the book was written amazingly well. I loved all of the musical inspirations and inserts the author placed in the book. I also loved the plot and the character development. The plot is actually kind of two plots, but both work well together and flow well into each other. The characters are amazingly well developed for the short amounnt of time we get with some of them and the characters were stuck with for longer do not feel dull or strained after awhile. The pacing was also marvelously well done in my opinion. I didn't feel like it was rushed or too slow, but it had a very nice ebb and flow with the plot.
My sole complaint is that I thought some of the scenes were a bit too complex and thus it made it hard to understand. These were few and far between though and while the book did end with questions unanswered, the sequel is coming out soon so hopefully they are answered!
Verdict: This book is a music lovers dream and an inspirational book for any girl who thinks they are too strange, too odd, not pretty enough, etc. It's a beautiful and unexpected romance book that I absolutely fell in love with.
