A review by zusy
Winter Rose by Patricia A. McKillip

5.0

I couldn't put this book down. I was completely captivated in a way I can't explain. I would feel like I finally grasped everything when the page would turn and I wasn't sure anymore. Near the end I began to despair that the book wouldn't end happily. How could things become right again? The ending reminded me of Sunshine by Robin McKinley. The ending wasn't sad. It wasn't concretely happy though. It reaches the point before happily ever after where you aren't sure that happily ever after will happen the way you want it to and you long for there to be more pages to tell you that it does.
