Winterwood by Jacey Bedford
4.0
With whispers of Temeraire, this pirate-meets-fae-meets-shapeshifters-meets-ghosts story is full of adventure. If you like your 'strong female characters' you need to pick this up. Ross isn't afraid to get stuck in to a fight, nor does she faint at the idea of wearing a dress when she needs to become part of 'land society'.
Well researched by the author both within the fae lore, and nautical terminology, it allows Old England to seeps from the pages, interwoven with elegant forest magics, frustrating family loyalties, and vengeful pirate action on the high seas.
This is the first book in the series. I confess Winterwood isn't my usual read, but it worked its magic. A slow build this story is clearly designed to reach across all three books as there is some deep world building around Ross' family background that I hope to see used in book 2, Silverwolf.
