A Winter's Promise
by Christelle Dabos
dark
mysterious
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
A mix
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Honestly, I just couldn't get into this one. I might have even DNF'd it if it hadn't been an audiobook. It was interesting enough on some levels, and I cared about what happened to Ophelia, but in some ways it just felt like a bunch of sad/frustrating/confusing things happening over and over. Like every once in a while the situation would change but it never got better, and I just didn't feel very engaged on most levels. It's well-written I think but it's just not for me.
