A review by kiraly
Winterling by Sarah Prineas
4.0
This story has elements of a fairy tale (or perhaps "faerie" would be more appropriate, since it is reminiscent of stories in which the fair folk steal children away to a different world). There are lots of connections to Celtic mythology as well, with the shape-changing Pucks (one of whom is named, appropriately, "Phouka") and villainous imposter, the Mor. Add in herb lore and a feisty girl protagonist named Fer, and this shapes up to be an enjoyable (if somewhat predictable, it is for kids) read.
