Raine can see-and speak-to the dead, a gift that comes with a death sentence. Highly recommended for fantasy fans.From the author of the critically-acclaimed Blackwing trilogy comes Ed McDonald's Daughter of Redwinter, the first of a brilliant fantasy series about how one choice can change a universe. My rating: 5 stars for the amazing narration and the great story with an exciting end. I hope Ed McDonald doesn't keep us waiting too long to continue Raine's story. I loved this book so much that I bought the audiobook because I will listen to it again. The action picked up again at about the 30% mark & didn't let up until the final climatic fight. My only quibble with the story was that the pace slowed down in the middle, but Samara MacLaren's beautiful narration kept me engaged throughout the story despite that. I love stories that don't give away the "surprise" or twist long before you get to it. I loved following Raine on her journey to Redwinter and, like her, I didn't know who to trust until the climatic end: it was both gripping and exciting. I loved the mystery at the heart of Redwinter. She gave each character a unique voice and personality, which really helped pull me into the story and I was fully engaged in Raine's story right from the beginning. The narration by Samara MacLaren was amazing. This book is a roller coaster ride that has mystery, great action, and a diverse cast of characters. It's a forbidden talent that carries an automatic death sentence.
