The last night of the year. Now the days of winter begin and the Goblin King rides abroad, searching for his bride....

This was a reread. Book One in a two book series.

Inspired by Amadeus, Labyrinth, and Phantom of the Opera, this is a dark, beautifully written Underworld tale. I love the way the author weaves the musical details into the writing. This is also one of my favorite book covers.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I LOVED this book. Totally different take on the Goblin King and I was there for every min. Be warned it starts off a little slow but y‘all, stick with it. It‘s a beautifully written story. This is book 1. #LittensLoveRomance #bookspin @TheAromaofBooks

I'm pretty much allergic to everything that grows outside so no real tree inside for me. One day I'd like to have a nice tree outside that I decorate for the birds and other critters.

Here‘s what I‘ve got for the #WinterReadathon this time around! I‘m trying to wean myself off of books from the library in order to get through books I actually own. These have been languishing on my shelves for a while now waiting for the winter season and now their time has come! Some are Christmas themed, most are just set during Winter/in snowy places. We‘ll see how many I get through!

Andrew65 Best of luck 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄 2y

About 80 pages in and I really like how this is going.

TLuvs Do not go into this book thinking it is a retelling of Labrynth! Yes, it is about a Goblin King, yes, it has trickery and death, but it has so much more! There is emotion and depth, true life lessons of self, selfishness, and love. I absolutely LOVED this book from its highs to its depths. But the end (chef's kiss) got me! This will be a reread for me and a book that will always be on my shelf.

What an odd love story... It was dark, and morbid. Hinting at questions from my childhood when I watched a different kind of Goblin King, played by David Bowie. Much the same story, stealing young girls, the King of Mischief tricks them. This tale however, is very much the adult version. It was whimsical, sprinkled with magic and heartbreak. I loved it! The ending wasn't what I had expected or hoped for but it did set it up perfectly for a sequal!

This book was okay. It was very intriguing in the beginning and the prospect of having it be a Labyrinth retelling really got me excited. But towards the end of the book it ended up being a chore to read as things slowed down exponentially. It's sad because I really wanted to like this one all the way through.

#WyrdAndWonder day 6: goblins!

There are so many different goblins across the worlds of fantasy - I pick the Fae-like goblins of S Jae-Jones. Wintersong is a sometimes steamy always atmospheric tribute to Labyrinth and Rosetti, music and family, love and sacrifice 💖

Mediocre fantasy about music and the goblin king. Lots of focus on the physical relationship for a YA.

I'm not one to enjoy goblins, fairies or the like, but Wintersong kept me engaged. I particularly liked the writing style. The descriptions were beautiful and enchanting but occasionally overdone. The story started out very strong but puttered with lulls in the pacing. I may read the second book, I may not but whatever it will be, it will be as I wish.
3 out of 5 stars.

TheDaysGoBy I kind of feel like I have to read the sequel to see if I would‘ve gotten the ending I‘d been expecting. Glad you enjoyed! 5y

I wanted to like this book so badly! The plot seemed incredibly interesting at first, but at times I found myself rolling my eyes at things taken almost verbatim from the movie Labyrinth. I felt like the first half of the book was disjointed from the second half. At times it was too verbose. I thought the ending was going to make up for everything, but then I just found myself disappointed. Overall an ok read, just left me wanting a bit more.

This was my pick for #fairytaleretelling for #booked2019 and it was very good! Most of the book I wasn‘t entirely decided how I felt about it, but the world the author created was imaginative. And I did like the characters. I‘d expected a bit of a different ending, but the way it did probably lent itself more to the romance.

This book started off strong, but around the 45-50% mark it slowed to a crawl. The scenes started to repeat over and over again. At first they would seem like different scenes but in the end they were the same. Unfortunately, this made me skim the last 50 pages. I think the end would have been really good if it hadn‘t taken so long to get there. I have little intreat in reading the second book.

Marilyncjackson Oh yeah there were some really interesting story threads left unwound but not going anywhere. This was a shame because some of the repetitive scenes could have been left out in favor of the interesting threads 6y

This book is never going to end. I am not saying this because it has a lot of pages I am saying this because omg the story just won‘t end! There have been several places to end it but it just keeps going, and going, and going. This is not a good thing as it is now dragging so badly I have to force myself to keep reading. It‘s sad because the book started out strong but the repetition is starting to get to me.

Rating: 2/5 Stars
Honestly I was super bored with Wintersong and could not wait for it to be over, which is why I decided to speed read. I feel like there was not much substance to the characters and I wish I saw more world building. Then, with Elizabeth I was getting annoyed with her loving the Goblin King on one page and then hating him on another in the beginning.

GypsyKat I didn‘t care for this one either. Honestly, I was disappointed. 😕 6y
