A review by klherring
The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly
4.0
I love Jennifer Donnelly. I love her unique style and undefinable genre. I loved this series in particular. The covers and titles seemed like they might be a tacky romance, but this series is anything but that!
Of the three books in the series, this was my favorite. It seemed to lack some of the silliness and ridiculous coincidences that worried me in the first book. Sure, it was still pretty far fetched, but somehow Donnelly sold this one a little better. I love how she brings new cultures, issues and adventures to light. I feel as if I'm getting an education as I'm enjoying her tales. The characters are all wonderful and I forgive them for being a little too all-or-nothing.
Though this review is very generic, I do highly recommend this book and the series as a whole. I will be reading all of Donnelly's work!
