4/5
Following on from the events of Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Tanis and his band of friends find themselves facing new challenges. Split up during a dragon attack, the companions have to figure out how to survive against the odds in an increasingly dangerous odds.
- As with the first book, Dragons of Winter Night is very much D&D inspired. The events and twists could easily be stories from a home game but they are told really well and kept my attention from beginning to end.
- One of my favourite parts of the book is the story arc of a particular character. Without going into spoiler territory, I was so engaged and impressed with how this character dealt with challenges to their world view and how they continued to uphold their values despite much opposition. The character arc was also finished beautifully and made me quite emotional.
A worthy second entry in this trilogy and series. I'm looking forward to seeing the conclusion of this story in Dragons of Spring Dawning.
