A review by elles
The Winter Rose by Jennifer Donnelly

4.0

Ms. Donnelly certainly does not believe in happily ever after coming easily. While I loved the book, at some points I wondered to myself, "really? putting the hero(ine) through more?" After I got past 40% of the way through the book I kept thinking it was almost the end, but Ms. Donnelly kept throwing curveballs that prevented the HEA that was expected. I'm not saying that I want the books I read to just be a happy ending, but I felt like this one was unnecessarily strung out.

That being said, I really really loved this book. I definitely am excited to get my hands on the third book.
