## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Excellent Read
*by T***I on September 5, 2023*

Many sequels are often a let down - not here. Kudos to Mr. Riddle for having a well thought out story map for his trilogy! This volume is better than the first in many respects. The characters from Book 1 are developed further, and an interesting cast of additional supporting characters is introduced. The story itself is compelling and hard to put down. The realities of humanity's greatness as well as its flaws are clearly laid out, and the outcome is in doubt up until the end, when a new challenge - the basis of Book 3 - is introduced. Hard to put down, and I can't wait to pick up Book 3!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A good political allegory
*by K***R on July 2, 2020*

This review contains discussion that could be considered spoilers from the end of the first book. Therefore I have chosen to give my impressions here, after the middle act, to prevent spoiling the first book's biggest reveal.My first criticism is with the main character, James Sinclair. There is no way he could possibly be the product of the South Carolina school system. He exhibits no scars from having his intelligence exploited and his creativity stifled and belittled. He is also far to well spoken. I can suspend disbelief about everything else in the story, but not this!I was about halfway through the second book when I realized what The Grid represents. All that BS about "conservation of energy" is nothing more than rationalization of laziness and greed. Even the flippant, dismissive attitude of Arthur mirrors the attitudes of the wealthy. Significantly, the society that develops among the survivors is a decidedly socialist, collective one. Richard Chandler represents the individualistic, egocentric attitude of the capitalist elite. This contrast is skillfully executed with the one exception already mentioned.The characters are generally believable, again with the one glaring exception. Richard Chandler does seem a trifle flat as a character, his motivations simplistic for a man of his supposed intelligence (HE strikes me as more typical of South Carolinians). Otherwise, though, the characters seem consistent and believable.Right about the point that Richard shows back up, I took a break from the story for a few days. I have never liked conflict, and I eventually realized that I stopped reading because the story overwhelmed me. That's a neat trick for a fiction story! I realized that I was empathising with the characters as they realized and accepted that their world was doomed. It takes some really skillful writing to pull that off.George Lucas explained that the middle act of a trilogy is always the darkest story. He said, "In the first act, you introduce everybody and set up the action. Then, in the second act you put your characters in the worst possible situation that they could never possibly get out. Then in the third act, you get them out."I'm really looking forward to this story's third act.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent character development
*by C***N on August 8, 2025*

Book 2 of the Long Winter Trilogy kept me looking forward to the next challenge for the characters.There are surprises in the events for survivalEnjoy this good read.Please read the first book, The Long Winter .
