Something is wrong, spring will not come, and Fer must figure out a way to save the kingdom from a ruler who is not who she seems and discover the secret of her parents’ death and who she really is. On the other side of the pool, Fer finds a beautiful Lady, a kingdom trapped in winter, and a people losing themselves to their wild animal sides. From there she is pulled into a land of wonder and magic through the Way. While running through the wood one night she stumbles across a pool of water and saves a black dog being attacked by wolves. Reading Winterling brought a sense of nostalgia for fairy tales and myths I often read as a child and I found myself really enjoying the book even though the plot was a common one.įer, short for Jennifer, lives with her witchy grandmother. The story is classic fairy tale, with a distinct Chronicles of Narnia feel to it, complete with an evil winter queen character. Most of the books I’ve been reading lately have touched 400 pages, so it was nice to come across a quick little read like Winterling. It’s on the small side, with just under 250 pages. This is another well written juvenile book. And now we come from classic fantasy to classic fairy tale with Winterling by Sarah Prineas.
