The Winter Long

Now that I'm well and truly immersed in this world and head-over-heels for all its characters, Seanan McGuire chose to dig deep into the history of these people to add depth and added meaning to connections and rivalries that only made the world even richer as a result. I adore what she did here, masterfully using all the things we've learned in prior books to underpin a book full of revealed secrets and shifting allegiances. Seanan McGuire is forever on my “yeah I'll read that” list already, but here she has really proven it's a good choice.
