In the 7th book in the Green Rider series, Sir Karigan G'ladheon is making her way back to Sacor City after her eventful mission to the North. Although plagued by nightmares and self-doubt after being tortured, Karigan must continue to risk all for king and country as the Second Empire makes a final bid to attack the kingdom.

Fantasy isn't generally my genre of choice, but I got hooked on the Green Rider series after the birth of my youngest, reading all six (gigantic) books in about a week. I've heard that this is the penultimate book in the series, and I have to admit that I am just as hooked now as I was when I started.

In Winterlight, fans of the series will be pleased as Britain keeps up a constant stream of action while diving into the psychological toll of Karigan's many adventures. While the loose threads from the other books are mentioned, the focus is on Karigan and King Zachary taking on the Second Empire.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from DAW through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
