Helpful Score: 5
I chose SONGS OF WILLOW FROST for January's "Frost" theme in my online book club, The Reading Cove.
I had read and enjoyed Jamie Ford's first novel, HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET, but I'm sorry to say WILLOW FROST was disappointing.
I didn't find William and Willow's story to be very compelling, and I suspect that may have to do with the way the story began. I was never eager to pick the book up, and when I did, I realized it was because I was being loyal to the author of HOTEL ON THE CORNER OF BITTER AND SWEET, not because I was interested enough to see how this story would unfold.
So all in all, I have to give this one a C. I found it rather flat and depressing. Much like I imagine the weather to be in Seattle...
