Winter War Awakening by Rosalyn Eves

4.0

Maybe more of 3.5 stars.

I quite enjoyed this conclusion to the Blood Rose Rebellion trilogy. There were things that irritated or annoyed me, but the more I listened to the book, and the more I thought about it, I realized that many of the things that annoyed me were also things that I appreciated. I liked that the characters made stupid mistakes and that everything was messy, because that's reality.

The end was rather abrupt, but not completely unsatisfactory. In my head I had it ending one way, at least as far as certain characters are concerned, so I was a little miffed not to see that happen. Still, I enjoyed the magic and the world, the characters, and the weaving with history.

I listened to the audio of this, which was narrated by Fiona Hardingham and Steve West, who are two of my favorite narrators. I highly recommend that format. Their performances were wonderful.
