A review by braydin
A Betrayal in Winter by Daniel Abraham
4.0
The second book set in the Asiatic universe of Daniel Abraham's Long Price Quartet. This book is essentially a political thriller set in a fantasy universe. There are no major battles or epic evil lurking about, only court intrigues, backstabbing, conspiracies, and the occasional love story thrown in for good measure.
This book follows Otah and Maati approximately 15 years after the end of [b:A Shadow in Summer|208|A Shadow in Summer (Long Price Quartet, #1)|Daniel Abraham|http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1312020105s/208.jpg|1711253]. Otah's father is dying and soon his remaining three sons will begin fighting for his throne. When one son dies unexpectedly, the father suspects Otah is making a power play to gain the throne of Machi. Maati, disgraced from his failure to keep Seedless at the end of the first book, is called to help smoke out Otah and to uncover any conspiracy that could be a threat to the poets.
