The blurb really says it all. Round and round and round and round and round Chester and Will go.
No doubt Cooper knows how to deliver on the angsty yearning as Chester contemplates his situation and his seemingly unrequited feelings towards Will.
The longing is definitely seen here as it was seen in its predecessor which I enjoyed more. Apparently, for me there’s a fine line, and these two seemingly take forever to get their act together with so much exposition between sparse action.
However, many loved this and if you’re in the mood, this has a fitting atmospheric seasonal feel as winter comes upon us. Regardless, this was still a palpable intense romance that Cooper fans should have no problem enjoying!

Really cool concept and great vibes, but the execution and their way of communicating was somewhat vague and underdetailed.

I'm a bit disappointed because the first book is one of my favourites, but this was a struggle. Chester claims he is an outcast in the town, which is probably true, but I couldn't feel much sympathy for him because for most of the book, he's the one who goes out of his way to be rude and distant with everyone. Especially Will. Basically, Chester is saying one thing, but the book itself is showing us another thing, and it really does seem like Chester's identity as an outcast is self-inflicted, at least in the present.
The whole Holly King/Oak King power exchange sounded really interesting, but I wasn't really feeling the chemistry between Chester and Will, so that part lost its magic too.

Oh how beautiful and fantastical this was, how season change, how two seasonal Kings are to bow to one a other and how they are to love....

3.5/5. I really like how the author creates atmosphere in both this and the first book in the series, but I find these books slightly hard to follow. The lack of plot clarity, along with a few editorial errors, keep me from enjoying the beautiful, seasonal atmosphere and rich details as much as I'd like to.
