The Chestnut King by N.D. Wilson
5.0
I devoured this book in one 4 hour sitting this afternoon. It was brilliant. My heart rate is still up and the adrenaline is still flowing strong. Yes, it was THAT good.
The Chestnut King takes us with Henry York Macabee and his family and friends as they search for a means to bring down the witch queen, Nimiane, once and for all. There is a lot of action, peril, and adventure throughout the entire plot. The writing continues to be emotive. It is amazing how much Henry's character grew in the course of the three books and how believable the metamorphosis is. And without giving anything away I will say that I loved how it all wrapped up. There is closure but no over detailed wrap up of everybody's futures. A tantalizing glimpse and then the door is closed. An hour after finishing it I am still smiling.
I really hope I don't have to wait too long for the next book (whatever it be about) that Mr. Wilson writes.
And much thanks to my husband for wrangling the snowbound kids all afternoon so I could read this in one sitting!
