Likewise, the book's various themes—power, hope, stories, and the nature of humanity—are of interest but handled in an unfocused way.

Book Review A Winter’s Promise // Christelle Dabos The Indiependent
However, I found A Winter's Promise very original. The only criticism I have for the book is the dragging in the middle when Ophelia arrives to Pole, and tries to get to know people. The relationships, the court dynamics took too long to settle in my opinion. It's a classic pit hole in fantasy books, and unfortunately Dabos couldn't.
