Let's just say I found myself skimming near the end.It was a pretty decent premise, but none of the characters were developed enough for me to want to know more of them. I will still be continuing on with the series to see if the story gets more detailed.

The beginning of this read was frustrating for me because I kept trying to fit the setting into some version of our world, and it doesn’t quite go.

I have mixed feelings about Wintercraft. After taking time to think about it, to me Wintercraft is a novel that has a whole lot of great ideas that just does not quite make it when it comes to putting them all together.There were a number of things that Wintercraft does really well. There is some re...

*4.5 Stars* What an incredibly fascinating and unique world Burtenshaw has created. I honestly can't believe that this is her first book. I was completely enthralled after reading just the first chapter, and the story grabs onto you and doesn't let go until the last page. Kate Winters lives in Morva...
