    Gut wrenching
  

*by S***A on Reviewed in the United States on February 11, 2019*

This is a very well-written book, a talented author with a flair for words. The non-stop encounters with bad luck are relentlessly depressing. If you suffer from clinical depression as I do, do not read this book, for your own mental health. Only the last 1% is uplifting.However if you enjoy relentless suffering, despair, evil, and hopelessness ..... Well not hopelessness. I have to admit the main couple do seem more willing than most to give each other the benefit of the doubt.

    Non stop animal deaths, but otherwise good
  

*by M***Y on Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2021*

It is really good BUT geeesch there is a non stop onslaught of animal deaths. The first one (i wont give it away) made me instantly cry and ruined my night. I didnt see that coming from this book and it just did not stop, so it was pretty depressing. Other than the authors seemingly morbid obsession with animals deaths, and actually death of all kinds lol, it was a really good and interesting read. Unique. I just wish a review or 10 had mentioned how many animals were killed or hurt in this thing, I might have skipped it bc I cant deal with it..kill 20 people for all I care but not animals 😂 so if you're like me, brace yourself or skip it. Otherwise very good!

The Winter Witch is a bit different than The Witch's Daughter. The storyline doesn't span as many decades, nor does it travel the world. It's not set in modern times, but instead a couple centuries ago. It is just as wonderful, if not more so, than The Witch's Daughter.The village Morgana grew up in knows she's a little different. She doesn't speak, not because she can't, but because she just doesn't. She has powers that she hasn't been taught to control and that show themselves when the time is wrong. Her mother arranges for her to be married to Cai, a marriage that will take Morgana from home and hopefully away from the whispers. While she falls in love with the land immediately, it takes some time before she can admit her feelings for Cai. There's a force in town working against her that will stop at nothing to get what it wants.Morgana is a fantastic character. She may not speak, but she finds ways to communicate as best she can. She doesn't know how to handle the magic inside of her and she's smart enough to know that's a problem. She might have been impulsive as a child, but she has a little more control over herself now. Strong emotions are what bring out her magic. Even though the story takes place in the 19th century, Morgana does not fall into that submissive female role. She fights for herself and those she loves, doing what is necessary and right to save the people around her.Cai is not the strong, dominate male you'd expect from a period novel. He has a great respect for Morgana and views her more as his equal than his property. He wants to do right by her, something that he doesn't have to do according to the standards of the time. He's sweet and loving, and even though he misses his first wife, he is able to understand that she is gone, but Morgana is right in front of him. He's also willing to act however he needs to in order to provide a wonderful life for Morgana.Mrs. Jones is one of my favorite characters of the novel. Her personality is perfect and exactly what Morgana and Cai need in order to find a happy life together. Mrs. Jones fills in as Morgana's mother figure and gives her the love she needs to make the transition into married life as smooth as possible.The story itself was simple, yet beautifully done. It all centers around the love that Cai and Morgana have for each other, and how they will each stop at nothing to protect their life together. Morgana must fight the magical forces trying to separate them and Cai must fight the physical threats. They work fantastically as a team, both in the relationship and defending it.The Winter Witch is a wonderful, beautiful novel that will both tug at your heartstrings and have you sitting on the edge of your seat. It leaves a content feeling as the last page closes, one that lets you take a breath and relax. It's a lovely novel and Brackston is working her way onto my must-read author shelf. This is definitely a good book to read if you enjoy historical fiction with some magic and romance thrown in, this is the book for you.
