"If only our wishes had power indeed." 
 Studying the poem: "Der Erlkonig" at school:"Oh, so he's like an old geezer who's got nothing to do aside from killing children." 
 Reading Wintersong: "OMG Erlkonig you're so sexy and witty and sexy please make me your wife!" 
 And now a brief summary of the book: 
 - Part 1: Trying not to have nightmares because this thing is just too creepy 
 - Part 2: Facepalm because Kathe is an idiot and growing curiosity towards Der Erlkonig 
 - Part 3: Fangirling hard because OMG Der Erlkonig is breathing/walking/speaking/doing whatever 
 - Part 4: Please let me die already I can't stay alive anymore the pain is too much 
 Seriously, I didn't think I could appreciate this book so much. 
 "You are," I said, "the monster I claim. 
 He was trembling now. You do not know that you aks." Panic touched his words, even as savagery played across his features. 
 "Oh, but I do." 
 > THE CHARACTERS 
 Have I already said that the Erlkonig is amazing? But maybe I should give you some reasons. First, he's an hottie. Second, his personality is like... a maze with no exit? It is really impossible to understand him, since each time he reveals something something else hidden comes up. But fortunately he's not the only one with a complicated character, and this is why Wintersong was so unpredictable and fascinating. 
 > THE SETTING 
 As I mentioned above, the atmosphere was mainly creepy. And when I say creepy, I mean hyper super creepy. Well, probably because there were blood-thirsty and always-ready-to-bite goblins everywhere. Plus changelings. Plus an entire shop with dresses of dead people. Plus the fact that I couln't always understand what was true and what was just an illusion. 
 But of course I must say that there's a strong presence of romance that, to be honest, I didn't expect. I thought it would be a book all about action, treachery and supernatural, but at the end I got so moved that I cried. (Liesl, you'll be forever on my black list. You and your damn stupid decisions)
