girlfriendofbath 's review for:
Winterkeep
by Kristin Cashore
This one is hard to rate. As a Graceling realm novel, I’m not sure I like it. In fact, I found Bitterblue and Giddon to be the weaker parts of this book. But if I can ignore those characters and some of the pairings up for the sake of pairings up we get with even minor Graceling realm characters, I think it’s a good standalone fantasy novel. I do wish the author would’ve just started with new characters (which she did for one of the major POVs) instead of doing some retconning (similar to what she did to Katsa in Bitterblue).
Can we also just tak about the improbability of the map/landscape. Book 1: here are these kingdoms, one of them is trapped by mountains; Book 2: wait there are secretly two more kingdoms on the other side of mountains, and even though one of the original seven was like that these are somehow different and no one knew about them; Book 3: behold, a new continent that is an eastern island at the same latitude of the other continent but somehow with a lot more snow and glaciers.
Also, are we calling 30+ year old men YA love interests now??
Recommend for: The story was Legend of Korra with a dash of Atlantis and more snow
