Clever in ways I had not expected, this second in the Snow Spider series continues to explore how children deal with family histories and loyalties. This story looks at urban living and hill farming and the interplay between them as friendships change and families confront their pasts.
But of course there is more than this: the enigmatic children from the first book haunt the hills, Gwyn exercises his power with less confidence than we might expect... A subtle little book, and if (again?) the ending feels a bit rushed there is, at least, a real sense of the child protagonists growing and struggling with their place in the world...
