A review by sonice
A Betrayal in Winter by Daniel Abraham

4.0

4.5 stars. I'm not sure what to say other than to repeat some beats from my review for A Shadow in Summer; excellent plot (mostly; one major occurrence rang just a little too convenient to me, hence the docked half star), expert writing, awesome character work, cool and unique magic system. Again, Abraham has managed to write a book with nearly no action that, despite this, is so bloody engrossing. If plotting, scheming and politicking in fantasy is up your alley and you haven't yet read this series I would highly advise you check it out.
