The last night of the year. Now the days of winter begin and the Goblin King rides abroad, searching for his bride…. All her life, Liesl has heard tales of the beautiful, dangerous Goblin King. But when her own sister is taken by the Goblin King, Liesl has no choice but to journey to the Underground to save her.
Drawn to the strange, captivating world she finds — and the mysterious man who rules it — she soon faces an impossible decision. He is the Lord of Mischief, the Ruler Underground, and the muse around which her music is composed.
The life of a maiden must be given to the land, in accordance with the old laws. A life for a life, he says. Without sacrifice, nothing good can grow. Without death, there can be no rebirth. He accepts. Down in the Underground, Liesl discovers that the Goblin King still inspires her—musically, physically, emotionally. As the two of them grow closer, they must learn just what it is they are each willing to sacrifice: her life, her music, or the end of the world.
I bought this book on Audible on a whim, and!!! Jae-Jones has that lyrical way of writing that makes my heart flutter and this is a long but also hauntingly gorgeous story and I loved it. Liesl was a fluid character. At times, she was a commanding woman and at others a spoiled brat and all versions of herself felt true. My personal favorite is theatre, but in Wintersong , the music is a character. Liesl, the Goblin King, and other minor and supporting characters all twist and turn around compositions and chords until the book itself is a dance.
As I said in the intro bit, this book is stunningly written. Jae-Jones writes with grace and precision, and it is beautiful. Few YA authors write this way, and many who attempt it go overboard.
This novel balances storytelling and stunning prose wonderfully. I found the world building breathtaking.
It is one thing to create the whimsy of the market or the tension of the inn, but the Underground took on a life of its own and wrapped me in its clutches. The rules of magic came with consequences and the goblins themselves played dutifully by the laws of the world. In a world filled with countless retellings, the story of the Goblin King is refreshingly original. Home Downloads Free Downloads Wintersong pdf.
