jbojkov 's review for:

Midwinterblood by Marcus Sedgwick

4.0

---

I read this one more out of duty than a real desire to read it. You know- "Well , it won the Printz after all!" I had read Revolver and liked it pretty well, but not enough to be chomping at the bit for Sedgwick's latest- now I'm chomping! :). I'm not sure why I liked this one so much- it can be difficult to read if you are not a fan of short stories- b/c that's what this is- a connected set of short stories. I just really liked each one and never had a moment where I lost interest. I think this is a testament to Sedgewick's talent as a writer. I am now looking forward to his next book- I think it's coming out this summer or maybe this fall.
