Midwinter Blood by Marcus Sedgwick
4.0

I have a love/hate relationship with Marcus Sedgwick's books. I love My Swordhand is Singing with an intense passion; Revolver and The Book of Dead Days, not so much. I tend to approach with caution and his books get pushed down my to-be-read list easily. That said, I really enjoyed Midwinterblood! The short vignettes all tied together by a common thread through time were engrossing. I especially liked the story of the archaeologist. Each story added a piece to the bigger puzzle and, at the end, the reader looks back over a large landscape, seeing the patterns merge and form a whole, like the painting. A great read.
