First off, I would like to thank Jonathan Maberry for concluding Kagan’s story with a trilogy. Far too often authors drag on a successful series until there is really no story left to tell and as a reader, I’ve moved on without getting a satisfying conclusion. I completely understand, you’ve got something that readers are connecting with, you are making a profit, and you want to keep the good things going.

Three is a magic number: three of a kind, things happen in threes. Humans connect well with the number. The popularity of the trilogy is a perfect example of this. And Kagan’s story deserved the trilogy.

Maberry had a lot of things going on in this story. An extensive cast of characters with Kagan leading the way, and an evil villain whose depths of deceit go above and beyond. There are hordes of fantastic beasts and magical creatures. The trilogy allowed Maberry to fully develop all of these things.

The Dragon in Winter kept me engaged throughout, I wanted to keep reading. Most importantly, we arrived at the end of a fabulous tale.

We are a couple of book reviewers

The couples who read together, stay together. That may not be scientifically proven, but it’s worked for us. We have been blogging for over twelve years. While we do enjoy reading together, we rarely read the same novels (although, it does happen occasionally). Sometimes a good book is just too good not to recommend to your spouse/blogging partner. If you’re looking for a book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place. Between the two of us, we cover a wide selection of genres. If you have a recommendation for us, we’d love to hear it! As always, happy reading!
