Winter Witch was enjoyable, but it had a few issues that kept me from rating it higher. The setting felt fleshed out but that's mostly a given because this novel takes place in an established RPG campaign setting. The main characters were well written and had mostly clear motivations that made sense but almost everyone else (including the main antagonist) just sort of felt like they were to there only to provide precisely enough motivation necessary to keep the main characters on track for the e

A marvelous tale for the most part. I found the characters to be colorful with robust personalities. The two main characters go through a great deal of growth by the time they reach the end. The slow reveal of their pasts and how they shapped who they are provided a wonderful insight to their motivations and reservations. I particularly liked the portrail of the witches/farie folk. Seemed to catch some of the classical views quite well to me. The story provided plenty of excitement and adventure

Nothing spectacular but not bad either - it's about what you would expect from a "D&D novel." I've been reading the Pathfinder novels primarily to see how they're using the Golarion setting (I'm a fan of Paizo's RPG setting) - as such the first two have been decent enough, "beach" books. They're certainly nothing I would actively recommend nor even dream of reading more than once, but they're a good time-waster. Having recently reread the original Dragonlance novels (after 25

Winter Witch is a great book marred by a denouement that feels like the setup for a sequel. Cunningham's writing is so good that it seems the last chapter was written by someone else, and that may well be, since the title page lists a co-author. Despite the rushed ending, Winter Witch does an excellent job establishing Golarion's version of Slavic folklore.

Pretty good book. Excellent if you love RPG tie-in books or are interested in Pathfinder by Paizo Publishing.

An enjoyable gaming novel. The best part was the middle part of the book where the group was traveling from Korvosa to Whitethrone. The ending felt a little rushed and was the weakest part of the book.
