The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner
3.0

It’s just my personal opinion and preference, but I’m a very character driven book lover? If that makes sense. Where the story here was immersive and interesting, it wasn’t strong enough for me to get past what an awful sister Laya is, and how both of them are so wishy-washy.
One of them is firm in her beliefs but has no self-esteem (granted she is only 17) but then when someone shows interest in her and her father isn’t there, watching like a hawk, she does things she knows are against what is “right”.
While the other sister thinks the beliefs of her family are outdated and has a more open mind, she says she loves her sister and would do anything for her, but then the first chance she gets she does exactly the opposite, gets herself in deep shit, then decides her sister knows nothing, says awful things to her, doesn’t believe her, refuses help when she needs it, but then when someone else saves her everything is fine?
I just didn’t believe their “sisterly love” AT ALL.
