A nice follow up to Winter

While this is a new story with new characters in the same world, it did have some carryover to make the transition seamless. A little slower with more mystery and less action. However, it carried its own well. I quite enjoyed the different style. I’ll be eagerly awaiting the next 2 season.

The second installation in A Series of Four Seasons. This book continues from the first book, True Winter. It follows Drew, of the House of David, as he struggles to balance his work against the opposing organisation known as Seditio, with concern for best friend Veronica.

This book adds an element of mystery to the series that wasn't present in the previous book. It resulted in slowly building tension throughout the story. It reminded me of a psychological thriller in some ways. I did really enjoy where this instalment took the storyline, and I was impressed with how the book ended. Despite the changes in style, the story keeps the imaginative ideas of the last book and builds upon them.

Whilst I enjoyed this book, I didn't find it as gripping as True Winter. The plot unfolded much more slowly, and it lacked the intense action found in the first book. I believe this is more down to personal preference than anything, and I know many people will likely prefer the slower build-up and mystery of this book over the faster pace of True Winter or vice versa.

Indigo Spring is the second book in the Series of Four Seasons - while characters from True Winter are very much a part of this story, the main characters are new to the reader.

After her marriage ended, Veronica has been despairing that she will never be important enough to anyone, until she meets Winston, who seems too good to be true. And you know what they say . . .

Meanwhile, her long time friend Drew is immediately wary of Winston and Veronica's sister thinks he is not what he seems, but Veronica is smitten and will not listen to anyone's concerns about her new man. The House of David's war with evil organization Seditio is ramping up and Veronica is very much caught up in the middle.

The plot keeps moving and the pacing is consistent in this installment, and with less than 300 pages, it is a quick read that kept my attention to the last page.
