Interesting story

I was very intrigued with the story line. I love stories where a characters powers are still developing as something new can always pop up. Nothing is impossible. I thought the characters were well developed. There are a lot of main characters so I am still looking forward to learning more about them but that is to be expected. Book 2 should hopefully clear up some of the unknowns.

Narration was good- Laurel has a beautiful voice and a great accent for this book.

Different for me

Every once in a while, I like to venture out of my comfort zone and listen to a book that is not my usual genres of choice. This one popped up at just the right time, I needed a break and Skye MacKinnon gave it to me! Wynter is a demigod that has reached the age where her magic would come into full force. Her mother has sent for her to come to the realm and to escort her are 4 guardians. I could not help but see these men as male muses and with that I kept it in my head as a Greek God type of story, almost cartoonish at times. With the adventure that Wyn has set out on, the protection of these four men and the danger she was up against, the book was full of mystery, intrigue and passion. MacKinnon is very creative with her imagery, and I loved how completely awkward Wynter is, which for me made her a more relatable character. The book is a nice change of pace.

This story has so much going on that it needs an incredibly talented narrator. Laurel Schroeder is the perfect fit, with her many distinguishable voices, the convincing accents and her wonderful story telling ability. I loved her performance!

Fun, flirty, reverse harem goodness!

This was a very enjoyable introduction to the series. You're introduced to the main characters and given just enough storyline to get you interested in what is to come. The interactions between the MC and her guardians is fun and flirty. It adds a bit of lightness and humor to the story.

The narrator did a great job! Her accents were wonderful. You would have though more than one person was doing the reading! She was really able to bring each character to life in their own unique way.

I really look forward to listening to the rest of the series!

Loved it

This was a great start to the series and left me wanting more. The narrator did an amazing job, she didn't read too fast or slow, and her voice didn't irritate me (I actually liked it). I will definitely be picking up the rest of the series.

Winter Princess

Wyn is a demi-goddess and her mother has sent her to the earth to live with the humans in hopes of protecting her. She has sheltered her, her entire life. Not giving her much information on her magic or what life is really like in her mothers world. On her 22nd birthday her magical powers will choose a path but her human family have not been prepared for what is about to happen. Her mother makes a mistake in not sending for her sooner. Her new guards must protect and teach her how to handle her changes while trying to get her to her mothers palace. Laurel Schroeder does an amazing job on the narration.

Great story

I didn’t know what I was getting when I purchased this book. I purchased because of Laurel Schroeder narration so I missed the part of it being a revered harem. I am usually not a fan of sex scenes or multiple partners. That being said it was so tastefully done and well written as well as being such an intricate part of the story that I didn’t mind. Winter Princess has a great story like with well developed characters the only thing I didn’t like was that it ended. I will picking up the next book in the series right away.

Different and entertaining read

I really enjoyed this story. It was completely different from what I was expecting, different from anything I’ve read before, and I loved it! It’s full of magic and wonder that kept me entertained from beginning to end. I can’t wait for book 2.
Laurel Schroeder is one of my favorite narrators, and the reason I listened to this book. That said, I was completely amazed by her performance. Her narration is ALWAYS fabulous, but this time she has outdone herself. Her character voices and accents were outstanding and absolutely brought this story to life!

A sexy read!

One sassy demi-goddess...
Four hot Guardians...
And a few evil people...

A sexy read that will leave you hooked and wanting more! Lovely book! Can't wait to listen to the next book!

Perfect writing.

Lovely narration. Perfect!

Winter Princess

Had me laughing for almost the entirety of the book. Definetly had a great sense of humor.
I fell in love with all of the main characters. Each had their own unique personalities that made them stand out.
This left me wanting more and I'm sitting on the edge of my seat for the next book.
The narrator fits the story well and is easy to understand.

Great RH story

Amazing book! It follows Wyn, the daughter of the Winter Queen, and her four Guardians as she travels to the Realms where she has been summoned by her mother.
I love all of the characters, Wyn is fantastic and strong while still being vulnerable and the four Guardians all have unique personalities that shine through. The story has action, humour, snark, and sexual tension.
I'm dying for more. It's a must read!

I've listened to the audio version, Laurel Schroeder's narration is great. I love how she does all the voices and accents.

My Thoughts on Winter Princess

This series starter blew me away. Within the first few chapters I was absolutely hooked. I love the characters, the suspense, the intrigue. I love the steadily developing relationship between Wyn and her guardians. I just loved it all. I was even ok with the cliff hanger ending, but only because I get to jump right into the next story asap.

I loved the narration. Laurel Schroder is one of my favorites and I hope she continues to narrate all of these because she just has one of those voices that is entertaining and has a broad range for the different characters.

Bring on Book 2!

Talk about leaving you wanting more! This book was fantastic I can’t wait to get book 2 started...I need more!
Magic, Demons, Steaming sexual chemistry, intrigue, Battles, humour and unicorn farts.
Sky MacKinnon had me gripped from the beginning and didn’t loosen that grip in the least throughout or at the end.
Laurel Schroeders characterisation is wonderful and she handles the accents well. I especially like the way she purrs Wins hormonal adolescence to life.

A whole new world!

What a start to this world. Great characters with a very strong storyline. Wonderful narration from Laurel. Looking forward to the next book.

I NEED MORE!!!!

With the exception of a minor thing that I didn't fully agree with, I really adored this book. And the thing that I didn't really agree with is something that I'm beginning to come around to. At the beginning I was flabbergasted. At the end, it made a lot of sense to me. I guess I wish the approach had been different. I'd love to see some back story to this series. Maybe some memories of Win's childhood would be beneficial to the story line. Obviously not the childhood in general, but some memories involving her mother. Maybe some memories of her mother as well. All in all, I really really enjoyed this book and I'm so happy that I had the chance to read it. I want more! I wholeheartedly fully recommend this book!

A fabulous story beautifully brought to life

I read this story when it was first published and when I saw it was on audio I just had to get it as I enjoyed the story so much. I have listened to other stories narrated by Laurel Schroeder so I was intrigued as to what she would sound like narrating this story and let me tell you I was NOT disappointed!!!

The narrator really captures the essence of Wyn, she really bought all the characters to life and did justice to the exciting story being read, I love audio books but a few of my favourite books I bought on audio and was disappointed with the narrator but I am so glad this was not the case

I really enjoyed listening to this amazing story and am so excited for the next book to be bought to life in audio, I highly recommend this audio and the fantastic story

Winter Princess

I liked this book, the premise was intriging, and the characters interesting, it was a page turner and entertaining. I can't wait to for the next book to find out what happens next to Win and her guardians, the narration was good. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

solid story

I really enjoyed this story. There was a lot that was good about this. The story starts out strong and really kept me interested. One of the aspects I really liked was Wyn discovering her magic. It was definitely interesting and I love how her magic was a cat! The ending did seem a little rush. The final battle was all of the sudden here and then it was over. I also wish we had a little more of them at the palace. However, this didn't dampen my enjoyment of the story.

Wyn's character was fantastic. There was so much that I enjoyed about her. I felt like every reaction she made was realistic which made it easy to connect with her character. The reverse harem aspect was done in a good way. I liked how it was because of their connected magic and not "just because". Each guardian was perfect for the story also. They each had their own personality which really complimented Wyn.

Overall, Winter Princess by Skye MacKinnon was a great book. The pacing and story were really well developed, even though the ending felt a little rushed. I really enjoyed Wyn's character and felt like the story was perfect for her character. The guardian's really complimented Wyn's character which helped with the romance.

AUDIO REVIEW: note that the narration does not affect my rating of the book.

I absolutely enjoyed the audio narration. It is amazing when the narrator really puts the emotions into the story. That is what happened here and it really made the story so much better. I highly recommend this audio if you were interested in listening to it.

Good Book!

I liked this book it has adventure, drama, some steam, and some amazing characters. I love Wyn's personality and her guys are amazing. I feel like everything was very well developed. I'm excited for book two. 🎧AudiobookObsession
