Summary: A tortured and misinterpreted youth tells his story.
Review: The Winter Prince was amazing. I found myself frustrated with Medraut when he became arrogant and prideful. He refused to ask his father, Artos, for help in battling his evil mother, Morgause. I felt helpless because I could not offer Medraut support. Luckily Medraut begins to change as Lleu begins to trust him. I love the ending where....well I won't tell you that. This book is really great! It kept me on the edge of seat. The historical attributes help me understand ancient history that had been confusing previously.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Summary of The Winter Prince
Review: This is an exquisitely written book. Medraut exhibits a complex mix of honor, generosity, intelligence, and extreme selfishness and cruelty. I wanted him to live up to his potential and always make the right choice. In many cases, my hopes were dashed, but in the end this made for a more powerful and realistic portrayal of this all too human character.

The setting was also vividly and richly detailed. The descriptions were haunting and beautifully evocative of a post-Roman Britain.

Elizabeth Wein is a talented writer. In her hands this story took on a power and depth that left me breathless by the end of the book. Magnificent.

Summary: Believable and beautiful
Review: This is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read; it pulled me right in and continues to do so over and over. It's not every Arthurian spinoff that's this realistic, not only in historical terms but in terms of character. I like Medraut precisely because he's neither a traditional villain nor a revisionist hero; he's in between, he's human. So for that matter is Lleu. I think anyone can identify with them, in one way or another. And aside from that, it's simply a splendidly written story.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Shines like gold
Review: This is the only book I have ever read that made me cry. It is so beautiful, so splendid, and so so human. Medraut is a young man who is torn in three directions- his loyalties for Artos or Morgause, and to himself. He is a young man whose entire life has been one of mental and physical abuse, inflicted by Morgause and even by himself. He is torn by jealousy of his new half-brother Lleu, who is heir to the throne and who has a clean birthright- something which Medraut has yearned for all his life. The book is spellbinding, it shines like gold. This is a book I have reread dozens of times, and it never fails to make me wonder how it is possible to write in such a way.
