I chose this book because none of the other books on this book sound interesting or they were crazy long. This book was perfect it was not too long and it sounded more interesting than all of the other books that were available. The thing that drew my attention about this book was how it was setup. I thought that it was cool that it was broken up into 8 different stories. When i saw that i decided that i should defiantly read it because i had never read a book like it so i decided to try it.
This was a different type of book. I think that honestly anyone could read it. Now everyone might not like it but its setup so different from all books that its a cool read. Its also got a different concept which makes it easy to get interested in so you wanna read on. Personally if i was to say, it was probably made for girls but it works for boys to there's killing and sorts of stuff that might interested a boy to read it. Overall its a great book and would be totally fine if more people read it because its a great book.

Midwinterblood Post 3
The hooking point of this book for me was at the end of the first story. I liked it because it was the first point in the book that actually gives you a clue about how the rest of the book might play out. It hints at how he thinks that Eric one of the main characters in the book has lived this before. when you initially read that statement you would think like what the heck. so you read on hoping for some sort of explanation and that explanation doesn't come until the direct end of the book. So it makes you want to read on and it is just a great point in the book because the one story ends and another one begins with more characters.
Whats happening during this scene is Eric wakes up with his head feeling woozy but he finds a note that will supposedly give him the answer to what he came to the island for. So he does what this note tells him to and he finds exactly what the note says. He finds what he was looking for! But then he sees something that looks like a church and he walks to it and there's Tor and his little posy of people. All the sudden they grab him and rip his shirt off and then they trow him n a stone table. He's struggling but cant when and the all the sudden Tor gives a big curved knife to one of his men and they kill Eric. The story is then over and you move into the second story.

Midwinters Blood Post 2
In Midwinter's Blood in the first post i talked about how the book is split into eight different sections. In these sections the two main characters remain the same eric and Merle. But there personality's change in each of the stories. So its hard to explain complexity of he characters. The one thing that does seem to stay constant through the whole book is that eric is mostly an introvert and Merle is more of an extrovert.
The theme of the book is different from most in my thoughts but i would say that it is "No matter when or where it happened true love will find itself no matter what". i say this because in every story the love between eric and merle has always found itself.
The structure of this book is different. It's split into 8 different many stories that are all connected in its own little way. I love it i think its a great way to design a book but it is a little confusing because the stories close so fast.

This book is like no other book i have read. Its very different. The main characters in the book are Eric or Merle. Now this book is structured differently compared to most books. its broken up into 8 different stories that all tie together through eric and merle. In all the stories so far they have been on an island called i the first 2 stories blessed island and in the 3rd and 4th story called blest island but its all the same island.
A conflict that might come about for the audience is understanding the book at the beginning and into the transition into the second story. I say this because its very hard to figure out whats happening and why the people on this island are so different. My prediction on why there so different is because there a little mysterious island in the North part of the world and its a pain to get there. I make a connection to another book when thinking about the people because there so different just like the people in Gregor the Overlander.
