5/13/2023 0 Comments Wintersong novel![]() At least I was able to find closure after the heartbreaking ending of Wintersong. Yet unlike the first book, it was slow-paced and downright hectic. Overall, Shadowsong nicely tied up loose ends. I would really have liked to see more of the Goblin King in the book because there really wasn't that much, but I do understand it was more about Lisel and being able to fix what she broke when she was released from the underground. At one point I completely forgot about The Hunt, which was supposedly hunting Leisl down, and supposedly a constant risk, but never really seemed like a threat. She is also reunited with her brother Josef. The story follows Lisel on her journey after being released from the underground and coping and dealing with the loss of the Goblin King. ![]() ![]() ![]() Shadowsong picks up six months after the ending of Wintersong. I found the pacing was very slow, it only picks up in the last handful of chapters, which for me made it very difficult to stay interested. This was a tolerable follow up, however it wasn't nearly as mesmerizing as the first the novel. It made it difficult to follow along at times. The formatting of my ARC is jumbled and full sentences are displaced and the chapter headings didn’t make sense. I’m not really sure if my concerns with the overall novel began with the ARC. I loved Wintersong and couldn't wait to read the sequel as soon as I was approved on NetGalley I picked it up right away. I was provided an ARC of this novel in exchange for an honest review. ![]()
