A lyrical masterpiece from beginning to end!
I knew from about 90 pages in that this was going to be a 5 star read & potentially one of my favourite books of all time.
The story is a re-telling of Labyrinth & as I have never seen the movie or read the book I went into this book totally blind. One of the main things that stuck in my mind throughout is as we follow the main protagonist Elisabeth in her quest to become the Goblin Queen & get her music down on paper, S Jae Jones is weaving her own musical masterpiece as it were with its own ebbs & flows as the story unfolds.
Surprisingly I also enjoyed the romance element to Wintersong. I loved the journey Elisabeth & the Goblin King went on from falling in & out of love to full on passion. From this I took away the morals that if you love something so much you still need to be careful as you can be swept away & it can destroy you, along with if you love something or someone then you will always do what is right by them even if it means letting them go.
Overall I can't fault this book at all!
