Description
From New York Times bestselling author Seanan McGuire, Seasonal Fears is the extraordinary companion novel to Middlegame. The king of winter and the queen of summer are dead.

"One must maintain a little bit of summer even in the middle of winter." --Thoreau… (more)

Seanan Maguire does some of the best character work in fiction today, and this was no different. I am continually impressed with the way she writes (across multiple series) protagonists that are young people without turning the books into YA. It's such a talent, and I love the way her characters worm into your heart.
Cannot wait for the next installment in this fantastic series!
I really liked the story and this universe, and I want to see more. It is nice to know that I’m not sure what I will see next in this story universe. The audio version of the book was great and I’m happy I listened to it as well as read it.
