The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

3.0

It was okay, again very interesting storyline and characters, even if they were a little melodramatic. For the most part I enjoyed it more that the first book. That being said this book could have been shortened significantly with some of the extraneous plot points and side-tracking from the main storyline removed. Honestly last night I got to chapter 133 that's right not 13 or 33, 133 and was wondering if this was like the never-ending book and if I'd be reading it forever.

On the bright side however, this book is filled with great characters and -at least for me- the last chapter of the book redeemed the book for me. If you love romantic books, strong female characters and drama -and can ignore historical inaccuracies- this book is worth a read.
