Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw

4.0

Edit - August, 2023: I'm upping this to 4 stars. I keep coming back to this book and recommending it for the atmospheric read and it's constantly on my mind whenever I see a forest.
3.5 stars really. This was a very atmospheric read, kind of haunting (if you are a scared easily like me, I suggest reading this book with the lights on) and definitely magical at times. I don't give it four stars because I figured out what happened relatively quickly, same with the final plot twist, but I enjoyed reading it, even in it's simplicity of the characters, and for the ending. The most I'll carry with me from this book is the mood, I'm sure to remember it next time I'm close to a forest. "We are the daughters of the wood." - Yes, yes we are.
