The Winter Knights by Paul Stewart, Chris Riddell
4.0
This series continues to impress me.
Like its predecessor, it took a while to pick up but this worked in its favour (even more so in this book) as there was a steady build up to the ending. The plot was generally great, some scenes or parts seemed a little weird or out of place but it never got too slow or boring and it felt like there was always something happening. I also loved how every element of the plot came together for an amazing ending and how (almost) everything was explained right at the end.
The characters continue to be amazing. I definitely felt like more characters were introduced in this book than in the last one but the old characters (mostly) stay as a part of the book and have their own rolls (however small). All of the characters still remain interesting and the relationships between characters and the ways in which they interact and respond to each other is interesting and really helps to support the plot.
Overall, an impressive sequel and I intend to read the next book in this series pretty soon.
