Review: Red Winter

Red Winter by Annette Marie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Truth to be told even till the end i never understood/able to remember all the various terms for the priest and their body holders. I only thing i properly understood was the name of the characters and the gods and the few ones which were easy to spell and remember lol like Kai, Yukei, ... but i still enjoyed this a lot.

I dont know anything about this culture or the myths or the life style of the people who live in this country and the book rarely touched those stuff and that is what i liked the most about it. I once read a book which was written by an American author based on Indian Mythology and Culture but when i read it, i was so angry with the author because the way she described India was completely opposite. Many people read these books and some even think that at least to some extent the facts are actually true. So its important to keep the credibility of the culture you are writing about.

While writing books of this kind it is important to do justice to the culture you are writing about. So i am glad the author never stepped outside the Shrine and kept everything within it. It was all about the characters and their story.

What i liked the most about the book is our Fox & the art work. The art work was amazing. The book got interesting only when this guy popped inside out of no where. The romance was just another great addition. From author's writing style i don't think she will bring a love triangle in book 2 but i hope it doesn't happen.. We went on a borderline love triangle in this book and i dont want to touch that in future.

Recommended to everyone who likes a good fantasy filled romance. For the fans of books of Grace Draven.
