Entertaining fantasy with a strong main character. ( )

Wow.
I read both books in 4 hours straight.
Talk about distraction... I couldn't put them down! Now I'm positively dying for the next book. ( )

Full of nature-based magic with an emphasis on the interconnectedness of all life and our shared responsibility. Loved it! ( )

Winterling is about Fer who doesn't seem to fit right in our world. She opens a magic portal call the way leading to world that in a state of a never ending winter. Fer must correct the wrong on the other side in order for spring to come.

Love how the world is described. It gives you enough detail to know that the world is fairies but, are never tell that it fairies or that the people there are fairies. I mean it clear right from the beginning.

Fer is a wild spirited and loves the outdoors. She is stubborn at times but, is caring.
There are some themes that are brought up in the book and then fade away, like free-well. The people live by the rule of three and when something is kindly done for them they have to return that favor. Fer help someone she gives them a choice. Maybe the themes will be brought up in the next book.

Winterling is enjoyable. It a simple middle grade story about a girl finding her parents. Fun to read during winter. ( )

Just fine but a little slow. ( )
