Wintersong starts out strong but ends in a whimper.
Liesl has grown from the young girl who played in The Goblin Grove when she was a child. She no longer believes the stories her grandmother told her about the Goblin King and instead focusing on helping her brother with her music. But when her sister disappears, she must realize that all those old tales were true and the only way to save her family is to marry the Goblin King. Liesl plays his games but will the King play fair?
The first third of the novel is compelling. The scenery is beautiful and the Goblin King is mysterious. But as the story drags on the world is just more and more description of the Underworld and less action. The two main characters talk about the same things over and over circling around. Even when action springs up again it is short lived and back to the circular love theme. The ending was predictable but not well explained. While there is a sequel that may answer some of my questions, I have no interest in reading another book in the series.
Wintersong has lovely wrapping but nothing solid at it's heart.
