There are new creative and magical things around every corner so you never know what to expect. The descriptions are incredibly well done and create excellent imagery for the reader. My favorite part of this book is the world. Going on along with this storyline there is the mystery of a missing crown.

They were all interesting characters and these scenes were action-packed and engaging. He himself struggles with the call to be true to his family of poukas and his yearning to help out Fer as a friend.Ī good portion of the novel is spent with Fer in competition with some other competitors. As a pouka his loyalty to Fer is constantly called into question. Rook plays a large part in the story as well. I also loved her kindness and her loyalty to those she considered friends. Everyone is telling her she is ruling the Summerland in the wrong way, but she sticks with what she believes to be right. She has times when she is uncertain of her actions but always decides to stay true to what she thinks is right. It’s appropriate for all ages as well, although one of Fer’s competitors is very cruel to those around him. This is a magical story full of adventure and intrigue with enough twists and turns to keep the reader engaged and entertained. This includes the High Ones who request that Fer journey to their lands to compete in a contest that will prove whether or not she is the true Lady of Summerlands. When she returns her people don’t know what to make of her and her unique way of doing things. Now Fer is back in the human lands and longs to return to the Summerlands.

In the last book Fer defeated the evil Mor making her the Lady of the Summerlands.

I would definitely recommend reading Winterling before reading this book. I enjoyed this book just as much as the first one, it was a wonderful middle grade fantasy involving fey. The series will continue in Moonkind which is scheduled for a Jan 2014 release date. This book is the second in the Winterling series. Stand Alone or Series: 2nd book in the Winterling series
