I found him to be, at first, not that bad. The characters in this book were very well developed - especially that of Brother Stockham, the settlement's leader. The love triangle, while technically there, did not feel like much of a "love" triangle at all and was tactfully handled. She is thrown off guard when she receives a proposal from an unlikely suitor at the same time that she finds herself falling in love with someone else. Winterkill is about Emmeline as she approaches her sixteenth birthday. Coming out of this reading experience (and it really is an experience), however, this book was so much more than what I'd expected. I think this is an obvious conclusion to draw from the description and I'm clearly not the only one to go there. When I first saw this book one thing came to my mind: The Village.
If Emmeline isn’t careful, she will be next. Her grandmother followed the same path and paid the price. The trail leads to a secret that someone in the village will kill to protect. But before she’s forced into an impossible decision, her dreams urge her into the woods, where she uncovers a path she can’t help but follow. When the settlement leader asks for her hand in marriage, it’s an opportunity for Emmeline to wash the family slate clean-even if she has eyes for another. Living with the shame of her grandmother’s insubordination, Emmeline has learned to keep her head down and her quick tongue silent. The enemy that wiped out half her people lurks there, attacking at night and keeping them isolated in an unfamiliar land with merciless winters. Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Įmmeline knows she’s not supposed to explore the woods outside her settlement.
