I received an Advance Readers' Edition for review and was ecstatic when it arrived. I highly enjoyed Wintersong, but I fucking loved Shadowsong. The writing was just as atmospheric and beautiful as the first and the story itself was so fantastic. This was a breathtaking finale. I cried like a baby at the end from a mixture of happiness and sadness. If you enjoy tragically angsty love stories then this duology is for you.
