bubblewombat 's review for:

Winter's Camp by Jodi Thomas
3.0
adventurous reflective sad medium-paced

When I saw the trailer for the series, I knew I had to give the books a read. Obviously, I started with this prequel, and was pleasantly surprised to find it was set in the past (I did not read the blurb y'all).

It served as a nice intro to the world, and the audiobook was pretty good, as well as a quick listen! The romance was okay, I rooted for it by the end, but the beginnings of it were a bit questionable.

I think Millie's trauma should've been handled better, it was as if a few days of silence around James erased most of it. She was ready for him to touch her intimately and they hadn't even had a proper conversation yet. And of course he didn't tell her
she could get pregnant
...Also, he wasn't gonna
marry her
originally, na-uh, you can't do that James!!! It ain't right.

Millie kinda faded into the background as the book went on, I can't say I liked that either, so hopefully the main books are better.
