The character development in Wintersong was fantastic. Even Kathe, who I was annoyed by in the beginning, grew on me by the end of the book. I ended up really loving The Goblin King (Der Erlkonig) once we got to his softer side. I related quite a bit to Liesl (Elisabeth) in her love of music, her fear of inadequacy, and her fierce love for those she loved. I really loved the characters in this book. It has very loose ties to the story in the movie, but it is a story completely its own that caused me many tears and revelations. Upon reading it, I was pleasantly surprised in the best way possible.
