Falling Into Winter
What would you do if you discovered you were the royal heir to an entire season? For Ian, the discovery that he is Prince of Winter is less than thrilling, especially because it comes with a price. Specifically, a price on his head. Lillie, the Witch Princess has taken over Winter and she will do anything to keep Ian from claiming his throne. The journey to save his kingdom doesn’t seem to be going well for Ian either. Not only is there a murderous witch trying to track him down, he also has to deal with the three heirs to the other seasons. Sweet and slightly mothering Chloe is from Spring, bouncy but irritating Tristan from Summer, and impulsive and fiery Alexa from Autumn. As the four of them try to get to Winter Castle, Ian finds it’s strangely easy to trust people once you’ve faced a rather unusual assassin, talking wolves, and freaky ice puppet creatures together. Unfortunately, looming on the horizons is their biggest challenge. Ian needs to regain Winter’s throne and magic, before Lilith destroys the fragile balance between the four Seasons permanently. But Lilith isn’t going anywhere without a fight, and she has all of the stolen magic of Winter at her disposal. Ian only has a small group of mostly inexperienced teenagers with underdeveloped magic along with his own newly found ice powers. He just hopes it will be enough.

While reading this book I came to the conclusion that it was written for ages 8-12 even though the main characters are around 14-16. For a children's chapter book, this was a pretty good book that actually had a plot with some depth!
I was a tad disappointed by the character and world development, I felt like both needed more work. At the very least an author's note or a glossary would have been very beneficial to the reader. The characters were okay, but their backgrounds were almost nonexistent and their likes and dislikes weren't explained at all. By the end, I didn't feel like I knew these characters.
The action was great and during those parts I was quite engrossed in the story. The adventure needed some work, at times it felt like events could have been added to spice things up. There was, unfortunately for me, hardly any humor. Tristan was the only character who seemed to have any sense of humor and was my favorite character. However, the author wrote him to be about age 6 rather than age 15.
Overall, I would recommend this ONLY for kids 8-12. It lends itself to being read aloud in a classroom or library group. It would be great for a teacher to read aloud to younger students, around ages 6-8.
