The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner
3.0
Here's the thing about using folklore as source material - it's old, and a product of its time.
This is why many authors use folklore more as a framework for a story, and modernise the plot and characters within.
I feel that the author did not do very well at modernising this tale. It felt very heteronormative and archaic in its messages.
The "choice" and "freedom" the protagonists ultimately receive is "which man do you want? the one that was betrothed to you from birth, or the one that makes ya knees weak?".
