The Chestnut Soldier by Jenny Nimmo
3.0
A wrap up to the Snow Spider Trilogy as Gwyn’s most feared gift is released - the broken horse, bringing the arrival of Evan Llyr - and a host of strange and frightening events that only our young magician Gwyn Griffiths can stop.
I struggled a little with this book, the formula was great and Nimmo’s writing was as impeccable as ever, I found that the story dragged more than its predecessors. There was plenty of action and the characters have developed to young teens with angst ridden problems of their own - alongside the deep magic!
Overall a good wrap up to the trilogy, but not as exhilarating as the first two books.
