A review by datskira
The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

5.0

This was a beautiful read. I couldn't put it down once I got into it. The story moved at a slow pace, but I fell in love with the characters so much that I didn't mind. It kept me interested, especially when it came to India and Sid's relationship. I loved Ella's character, her mother, and Charlotte. The only thing that I found a little frustrating was all the side stories, like Seamus/Willa's. I didn't understand why they needed their own chapter in the third section of the book. I could understand why Freddie, Fiona and Joe each got their own light, but I felt that Seamus/Willa didn't need one and would have been just find being involved in the others. Other than that, I loved the book. It was wonderful.
