Winter's Maiden by Morgan L. Busse

4.0

dark emotional sad slow-paced

“𝐖𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫. 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐯𝐨𝐫. 𝐃𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐡.” 

𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧 was my first ever group buddy read and I had a blast! 

There was so much about this book that I enjoyed although I found it a little slow at first. I loved that the world borrowed from Norse culture, and I thought the clans vs clan-less was a cool plot device. 

I really liked Brighid’s character, and I loved how her character arc was done (I’m so looking forward to seeing her Faith grow!). I think my favourite character was by far Kaeden though. 

The plot was intense and gritty, and at times quite sad. There were also quite a few tense battle scenes. 

I can already tell that this book is the set up for an amazing series, and I can’t stress enough how much I’m looking forward to continuing it! I’ve got a few guesses on where the plot is going but I guess I’ll have to wait and see! 🤭 

𝐍𝐨𝐭𝐞: I recommend you do not read the synopsis as it spoils the majority of the book!
