"'Can you even love?' 'Yes. Yes. All the wrong things. The hunt, and darkness, and winter, and you, Godmother.'" This is a book I wish I had written. It is a first novel, and cool and sharp and glittering, like a heavy, hanging icicle. It is very dark, with just enough hints of the backstory to le...
I didn't think this was rave awesome awesome like a lot of the reviewers on here, but it was alright. I generally love Arthurian stuff. I've read a shit ton, and this was an interesting take on Mordrid. The part at the end where they're walking through the woods as prisoner/generic douchebag drug on...
I think fans of Megan Whalen Turner might love this one.It is an amazingly original Arthurian retelling, from the point of view of Medraut (Mordred), who is -- and struggles to be-- an awesome character, despite the way his circumstances, and particularly his mother, have twisted him.The conflicted ...
Rating: 3.5 StarsI can truthfully say that I have never read a book like The Winter Prince ever before and I don't think I ever will, simply because the characters are so tortured, the plot so unique, and the ideas so haunting.

The Winter Prince, on the other hand, never lost...
This is a good book, I think, (it's certainly beautiful writing), but not one that really captured me. I think perhaps I would have enjoyed it more when I was younger and had more tolerance for angst. I guess if I had to pick one word to describe it, it would be "claustrophobic." It's told first-per...
by Elizabeth WeinI kept hearing this title and author in the book recommendation threads on Sounis and then several other people mentioned it. So I finally checked it out. And, man, were they ever right!Except for the prologue, the book is told in first person, from the point of view of Medraut, t...
This is a companion novel to “A Coalition of Lions". Sequentially, it comes before ‘Coalition,’ but both are fully stand-alone novels – where ‘Coalition’ tells a story from the perspective of the princess Goewin, ‘Winter Prince’ is her brother Medraut’s story. But more than his story, it is an explo...
