The Winterbringer by D.C. Davis

The hero’s journey. In this action packed fantasy, we meet a young boy living a peaceful, content life. Until every thing goes wrong. Rudi experiences grief profoundly and that carries us through the story in a memorable way.

Characters are impactful, meaningful, and add depth to the story. Imagery is obviously well thought out, immersing you deeply into the world as Rudi experiences it.

While the story was immersive, there were bits that felt a little more rushed than I would like, but that’s probably just because I enjoyed experiencing Rudi’s journey with him enough to be left not wanting it to end.
