Summary
The second book in Ed McDonald's Redwinter Chronicles, Traitor of Redwinter is full of deadly politics, ancient powers . . . and a young woman navigating a world in which no one is quite what they seem.
Raine is a member of the Draoihn, a sect of powerful magic users who hold the realm together in precarious balance. But Raine has a secret. She can see the dead, and her forbidden magic could get her killed by the very people she counts as friends.
As Raine works desperately to hide her gift, rebellious lords across the land threaten anarchy in the wake of the king's failing health, and she is pulled into a web of treachery and deceit even the most powerful of magic users would struggle to navigate.
Raine might be the one person who could hold back the impending chaos. For the lords are backed by dark powers they do not understand. If certain doom is to be avoided, Raine will need to embrace her terrible magic and discover how powerful she could truly become.

Good book..main character a bit over stupid tho.
Not quite as good as the previous one as a bit too focussed on the main characters stupid romance drama, but an excellent world and magic system still keeps it interesting. I do think it's a shame that the savy and clever main heroine from the first book becomes basically an idiot though.

Powerful story, great voice to tell it
Excellent emotive voice to capture deep characters and complex emotions. Story drags at times but really hits it stride midway and keeps going, the escalation of young love and learning to dark, toxic themes of war, politics and power is fascinating.

Captivating
When I read the first book I found it difficult to really relate to Raine. That was purposeful by the author and shows his skill. This book is no different. I honestly really quite dislike Raine. Sometimes she's a decent person, but most of the time she absolutely drove me up the wall. She's entitled, immature and very unreasonable. However, much against my better judgment, I found myself rooting for her because her character is slowly developing. It felt very organic, her character development hasn't happened overnight. It felt like a natural change as a result of the events of the story.
And as for the villain- probably the best written, most infuriating villain I've read about for a while... I won't say more - spoilers- but this is a really standout element to the story. I can't wait to see what happens in the third book!

Truly Epic
Wow, you know when one of those series comes along and just transcends you and takes to another world with its exquisite storytelling and beautiful flowing writing that you just can't get enough of. Well, this is just that series The Redwinter Chronicles.
Traitor of Redwinter is the second instalment of The Redwinter Chronicles, and damn does Ed McDonald deliver time and time again with his craft of weaving amazing stories.
The first book, Daughter Of Redwinter, was fantastic, but this was better as the main protagonist, Raine, continues to grow and establish herself as a powerful Draoihn (mage) from lowly highland girl.
Ed McDonald continues his superior world-building skills and its beautiful dark setting in this epic sequel that keeps you mesmerised with its wonderful prose, and twists and turns will keep you turning the pages late into the night.
The characters are excellently constructed with great depth to their personalities. You can not help but get drawn into their dark world where magic and the crown rule with an iron fist.
Raine has a terrible secret. She can summon and see souls of dead, a death sentence if found out, and her sixth gate is growing stronger as she continues her apprenticeship to be come a Draoihn.
Everyone wants a piece of Raine amidst threats ancient old foes and new treats from with in Redwinter, Raine must find her path, weaving her way between friendships, a very powerful mentor, and her dark secrets.
There's a traitor in her mist's, and with a clan leader looking to usurp the crown, war is coming to Redwinter, and hell is following in its wake. Very powerful players are coming, and Raine and her friends best be ready when it does.
A truly wonderful and epic read, that ending has just left me on tender hooks. I can't wait for book three. If you love dark magical worlds, then check out The Redwinter Chronicles. I very highly recommended....😁🖤☠️💀⚡️🔥
