Winterling by Sarah Prineas
4.0
Overall, a solid read. I sat down and finished it in maybe 5 hours, and it was just what I needed to suit my mood. I'm sure you've all heard variations of the story before: ordinary, if not somewhat odd, girl discovers a portal leading to a magical world that needs her help. Still, it was well-written with an interesting idea or two that I haven't seen before.
I agree with criticisms that the heroine is really slow on the uptake, especially since the author reveals certain important truths to the readers beforehand, but I rolled with it. I also would have liked the author to better develop the world outside the Way; I had to remind myself several times that it was a modern world and not purely a medieval fantasy.
Still, might read again? Definitely going to check out the sequels!
