A Winter's Promise by Christelle Dabos
4.0
THIS BOOK IS A HELL OF A SLOW BURN AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE MISS THE POINT OF THE BOOK. IT HONESTLY REALLY GOOD, JUST REALLY LONG, DEFINITELY SETS UP FOR THE SEQUEL.
This story isn’t a romance first. Say what you may, I fully believe that even though this book was set up for an eventual love interest, that is not the main point of the book.
At this books very core, it’s about self growth and not loosing yourself from trauma in a world that does not care about who you are.
The main character is in-fact a very quiet woman when in her comfort has no care for growth or change. Though when forced to enter a world that is not only new to her, but cruel to her - she is forced realize that even those who are said to be trusted are not.
If we’re to describe the main premise, our heroine isn’t a heroine but a survivor in this book. She is a woman who lacks confidence but at her very core knows who she is, while those around her have confidence but have lost themselves to the fake world that consumes them.
Without spoiling this book I’d say that this book definitely takes its time. The main character is a bit quiet and bland. (She is and it’s okay. It’s not like super poor in taste or anything. Just something that’s stated somewhat often.)
It’s was pretty good until I noticed that it feels as thought the book starts out pretty exciting and then it seems to drag on for a bit then starts back up on being exciting only to go back to dragging on again.
I think this a good book if you’re wanting an escapism in a cool little world. It’s full of themes like musical elegant hallways full of chatty and flirty Victorian girls. And what happens if you combined white powdered wigs, victorian clothes and what i imagine crazy celebrities party’s are like. Basically nobles decked out in wigs and full makeup all attending a never ending party.
Anyways, good book. I would recommend.
