I honestly would’ve loved to know more about the other characters and how they ended up where they did but we get none of that. and Gilbert, oh Gilbert, we didn’t spend a lot of time but I liked you. and that ending with Isabelle and William! like what the fuck! I was a little upset about that. I found their story more dark and intriguing, and mama liked that. I think I would’ve loved to read about Malfluer and Belcour. Yes, there are other things like saving the kingdom, defeating evil, sisterhood, friendship and finding oneself. that’s what I pretty much got out of this.

and a bastard child, Isabelle, whose vision was tithed when she was young and the only sole purpose in life is to keep Aurora company. Here we have a princess, Aurora, without voice and sense of touch who through circumstances becomes a warrior. BUT I didn’t understand the main idea of this story. See more of my reviews at ”Among all men and across all fae, no heart can be braver than that of the hart slayer.”įirst thing, the writing was beautiful. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Nothing felt drawn out and I never wanted to rush the story along. I just had to know how this series was going to end and how the Author was going to get us there! Winter Glass is captivating and sucked me in instantly and I had to keep turning the pages to see how it would end. I read most of this book in one day as I could not put it down. We also get to see the good, the bad and the ugly in some of the characters.Īgain, I thought Winter Glass was even better than Spindle Fire! Keep in mind that these two books are a fairy tale re-telling and they do not disappoint. evil, magic, a glass (which isn't glass) slipper, and of course beautiful writing. This book has a little bit of everything: romance, true love, evil characters, hope, strength, good vs. One of the things I liked about Spindle Fire was the bond these sisters have and even though most of the time they are apart in this book, they still have a bond.

Both sisters grow even more in this book and become stronger on their own and both learn about themselves and what they are capable of. Her sister Isabelle, unites her heart and kingdom with Prince William (YES!!) to wage war against Malfleur.īoth sisters have their own story-lines going with interesting characters such a Wren, who can hear Aurora when others cannot. Princess Aurora has awakened and plots to kill the faerie queen Malfleur. The Author is also a poet and it is evident as the writing in both Spindle Fire and Winter Glass is often poetic and lyrical which really help transport the reader into this fairy tale/fantasy land of sisters Aurora and Isabelle. I will also say that I enjoyed this book more than I did spindle fire!

So, if you have not read Spindle fire, I recommend you read that one first and then pick up this book. Winter Glass picks up where its predecessor Spindle Fire left off.
