Review: Bridge of Snow by Marie Rutkoski

Bridge of Snow by Marie Rutkoski Series: The Winner’s Trilogy #0.5 Published by Tor Books on January 28, 2014 Genres: Fantasy, Fiction, Mythology, Novella, Short Stories, Young Adult Pages: 64 Format: E-Book Source: Own Copy Buy on Amazon Goodreads Ignore the stirrings of war. Let the carriage to a royal ball wait. There is a story to be told: of a starless night, a mother and her sick son, and a mortal who falls in love with the snow god, and will do anything to have her… So I brought Bridge of Snow this mainly to keep me going until the next book in the series comes out (soon, ever so soon!). And having just dived straight in and purchased it I didn’t look at the back. This would normally be a foolish thing, but here is was almost pure genius. In The Winner’s Curse we learnt more about Kestral and her world, here we learn about Arin’s and what his childhood was like. It is a tiny glimpse into that world but it is still pretty satisfying. The story is beautiful and […]

New Year’s Eve in the French Alps with her boyfriend Leo and two other couples: what could be more romantic? She’s picturing hot chocolate, romantic snowball fights and evenings snuggled together in front of the log fire. What she didn’t picture is near-death experiences on the mountains, falling out with Leo and sharing a chalet with the unbearable Jenny. When she meets Sylvain, a gorgeous ski instructor, the line between harmless flirting and full-on misbehaviour becomes … well, blurry. Will Maggie stay on the nursery slopes, or go seriously off-piste? Girls on Tour is an […]
