Whinnies on the Wind #9
Winter of the Whinnies Brigade: A Wilderness Horse Adventure
On a snowy ride, Evy, Kestrel, and the horses discover they have a tag along: a starving mustang colt. They have to save him. But before they can, they discover some humans in need. A car has gone over an embankment. It seems everyone needs saving today! Then Evy recognizes the occupants of the car: two people she'd hoped she'd never see again. How did they find her? And what do they want with her? Unfortunately, she's about to find out... the hard way!

The final book and what the heck is this awful title? What does it even mean?! No idea, not impressed, zero out of ten AWFUL.
Regardless of that though, this was an exciting conclusion! While I still have questions about the family and why the grandmother wants Evy so badly—I know obsessive people like this exist but seriously?—that I stand firmly on it being a missed opportunity to not have her reason be about Evy’s gift, but it was overall decent in the execution we got.
One thing does bug the HECK out of me though, why would Evy intentionally crash a snowmobile into the lake they drink from? Now they have motor oil in their only source of water and while I get why she did it, it doesn’t make sense from a survival standpoint AT ALL and was a really dumb move on her part—why not crash it into a boulder or tree instead? At least then the snowmobile is still useless without polluting your only water source, just sayin’…
While ultimately not my favorite series from this author (that would be the Horse Angel/Guardian series), I still enjoyed it and am glad I was finally able to finish it after all these years.
‼️Content‼️
Language: sucks
Violence: horses and girls are chased by snowmobiles
Other: a girl can communicate with horses telepathically and feel/experience their emotions; a woman threatens to take a girl away from her mother/home

Sydäntalven soturit päättää Erämaan tarinoita -sarjan. Pidän kyseisestä sarjasta valtavasti, ja vaikka tämä kirja olikin erinomainen, se ei yltänyt ihan parhaimpien osien tasolle.
Seikkailua, hevosia ja salaisuuksia riittää, eikä meno käy missään vaiheessa tylsäksi. Etukäteen olin odottanut suurta loppuhuipennosta, mutta oikeastaan Enkelten syksy piti minut paremmin otteessaan kuin Sydäntalven soturit. Nyt keskityttiin asioiden selvittelyyn Evyn äidin suuren salaisuuden paljastuttua, eikä mitään suurempia yllätyksiä ollut mukana.
Erämaan tarinoita on ihana sarja, jonka aion lukea vielä uudelleenkin!

The final part of a series about a girl who lives in the wilderness with her mother. Also she can communicate with horses. One one hand, it is a unique horse girl story and on the other a isolationist family drama.

I loved this book! It was so good! I especially love where Evy can talk to the horses through her mind in this book (Really cool). I definitely recommend this book. :)

Truly. I was torn between three and four stars for this one. The series wraps up tidily — almost too tidily. I understand that it’s a YA novel, but still.
In the other hand, Dorsey wrote what I consider her best version winter. And the mustang colt also is well done. Does that make up for the too-pat ending and the unlikely or even impossible events that lead up to it? I don’t know, but I rounded up anyway.

This was probably best book in the series, but I would've been disappointed if that was the case. I feel like this could've technically been squeezed into three books rather than nine and had a more conclusive ending.

Another fun easy read!
I hope the series continues! We have to see how the families turn out and especially the new addition! I expect more mysteries to pop up! What fun these books have been!

Pět hvězd, protože to je jedna z velmi malá knih, které jsem jako malá dobrovolně přečetla (a to byl vždycky velký boj), dokonce mi bylo i jedno, že to je poslední díl.
