I didn't see that coming
ARC copy was given to me by the author
Not what I expected from Lucy Wild. It's well written, characters are great and that twist at the end ?. I have to say though it's not a genre I'm used to from Lucy or what I would read and I felt that the surprise ending was rushed. I'll just have to wait for Lucy to find her kinky streak again ❤

The lyrical writing style: an occasional overblown misstep but overall very good (1 more)
The obvious research and detail
The intertwined story device: not my favorite (1 more)
Some weak story devices and characterization
This book draws obvious parallels with Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series, so I was initially skeptical and expected to put it down almost immediately. But beyond the basic framework of the story, everything else about The Winter Sea stands very well on its own. It's not without its weak points, but overall this was a very enjoyable read.

Beautiful writing (2 more)
A great story
The circus and the characters are brillliant
Absolutely spectacular
It's been a while since I read this book but I remember being in complete awe of it. Every single word has a purpose, it's as if each one is specially selected to realise the novel's potential and it's quite rare to get that.

It's mesmerising and beautiful and it's nice to see magic used with subtlety yet still being important without overshadowing. It's difficult to believe this was a debut novel!

I'm in two minds about this book. It centres around a main character who is intentionally detestable and just an all round horrible spineless idiot. This is good in a way as it means the author has done a great job of writing the character, however I think i might have hated him too much as I found him too irritating and frustrating after a while. It's a shame really as I found the rest of the story very interesting and the ending was refreshingly different.

I was totally the same. Hated the protagonist. But I guess maybe the author's trying to ask - did he deserve it?

I had heard good things about this book but the reviews were mixed. so I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did. I really enjoyed it, it took a little bit to get into but then it just flies. this is defiantly a roller coaster of a story. the author has a brilliant way of writing the scenes so they are intense and very passionate which will suck you into the story.
