A review by mschley
Winterlight by Kristen Britain

Thank you to NetGalley and DAW for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Like many people, I’ve been reading and loving the Green Rider series for more than a decade. I feel like I’ve been through the ringer with Karigan and she’s still a beloved character as she grows and changes. She certainly isn’t the “spunky” teenager who ran away from school and straight into trouble anymore. And yet, I almost like her better now that she has experience, scars, and depth. I honestly wanted even more of the chapters to be from her point of view in this book, because while I love the world of Sacoridia and care about a number of the other characters, there are certain other ones introduced in the last book that I just don’t really care for.

However, I ended up devouring this book like many of the previous ones. If you haven’t read anything in the Green Rider series, you definitely want to go back to book one and settle in for an enjoyable ride. Winterlight continues to chronicle the troubles that seem to be unending for Sacoridia with Karigan at the heart of them. She always somehow finds herself in the thick of things and in absurd positions, and how she handles them all is part of what I love about her. It was another great installment in the series and I’m always happy to go back and spend time with the Green Riders.
