Decided to revisit Winter via audiobook and the narrator does not disappoint (love how she does Winter's voice!) My only complaint is Audible doesn't use percentages to show how far you've listened so I don't know how I'll be able to do updates... (only using Audible's free trial for this because it's the ONLY way I could find to listen)

Why is this book so info dump-y?

I knew it

I was wrong. Indigo isn’t terrible. She’s cruel and the absolute worst.

Indigo may be alluring but she’s also terrible

If you combed through enough fairy tales, untangled their roots, and shook out their branches, you would find that they are infested with oaths […] Though they go by different names depending on the myth—troths and geis, vows and tynged—there is one thing they all share: they must be broken for there to be a story. Only a shattered promise yields a rich, glittering yolk of a tale.

This book makes my heart ache

I love time loop stories

Okay, okay, I forgive her for doing that because she did this. <3

Plenty of talent people in this world are useless. It’s what you do with your talent that matters.

I knew this was going to happen and I am not happy

You’re not wicked. You know what you are, Grace? You’re a girl who takes care of people […] Maybe you are a wicked witch, but I don’t see any reason why you can’t also be a kind one. Who says you can only be one thing?

Love how this connect magic and poetry

This part always gets me. This reveal blew my mind!

This is the type of book where I'm going to have to reread each section more than once to truly grasp what's happening because it is a LOT of information and the writing is a bit dense.

I don’t know what time period this is supposed to be

This reminds me of Earwig and the Witch and I love it

Grace definitely exemplifies Anne Shirley qualities but I’m not sure the rest of this resembles Anne of Green Gables in any way

Oh come in, I could have guessed the drink was poisoned!

Rereading for a book club

Books don’t just have stories on the inside. Some wear is beautiful. It shows the journey to this very moment.

I was not expecting her to get there so quickly… what is the plot for the rest of this book??

DUDE WHAT

This ended up so much more intense than I anticipated wowoww

I've been bad about updating my reactions to this but I love the narrators and I also love reading this knowing what happens in this trilogy. It's fascinating to see how everything comes together."

Nope nope nope I knew this would be bad

I was not expecting this. We talk about authors who kill off characters and then there’s apparently Scott Reintgen

They did the title thing

I knew it. This is terrifying

Page numbers are definitely not correct for this digital copy I have but it doesn’t do percentages so whatever. Basically I’m here to say I wish I liked this more than I do because the concept is great. But Ren is kind of a blank slate character and 12 chapters is a little long to get to the premise
