Review: All in all, a fun, tense, exciting read. - Winter World (The Long Winter Trilogy Book 1) Kindle Edition by A.G. Riddle (Author) No one does TEOTWAWKI better than AG Riddle. And this is particularly true with the first book of the Long Winter trilogy. As with his other apocalyptic series, Winter World starts with the microcosm. In this case, the stories of James, a scientist who has been wrongly convicted and sent to prison, and Emma, an American astronaut on the ISS when the worst happens. The story builds out from there, and hitting with THE BIG IDEA that isn't explained until the very last 15% of the book. It reminds me of the best Dean Koontz! The story is told in rotating third party points of view, between Emma and James. There are plenty of other characters, from Russian cosmonauts, to sisters of our narrators. The only issue I have is, that despite how well Riddle writes female characters, he fails the Bechdel test. Even when women are the talking to each other on a spaceship, they only talk about James for any length of time. I hope this changes in the next two books! Riddle does an excellent job with the science, giving the feel of a Michael Crichton science thriller. He also manages to explain it on a level for an English/History major like myself to understand. Emma and James are very well-written and their relationship evolves organically. Riddle does a great job ratcheting up the tension between them while keeping them apart, not by environmental factors, but because they are humans who can't see what's right before them. This is also seen in the way they handle the Big Idea. Aliens exist in this series, in fact they are the driving source of how the Long Winter begins. They are stealing our solar energy. And they are truly alien. There is nothing human about them. Well done, sir well done. I've read and watched too many sci-fi stories where the aliens are just humans in lizard skin or some such. This is a totally different alien species with completely un-human drives and reasoning. This is a great TEOTAWKI (The End of the World as We Know it) story that works on all levels – microcosm and macrocosm, on the earth and in space. The characters are well done. The writing and story flow. The secrets of the characters play out at just the right speed. The aliens are delightfully alien. All in all, a fun, tense, exciting read. 5 out of 5 – recommend highly https://www.desertcart.com/Winter-World-Long-Book-ebook/dp/B07N32K12H/
Review: Fast-moving, fun content; imperfect execution - I heavily enjoyed the premise and storyline of this book and series. The main protagonist is fun to follow. Events move quickly, allowing a lot of events and changes to occur in the trilogy. There are a few plot holes or implausibilities (which I'll not spoiler here), but I'm willing to gloss over those in my escapism. With moving quickly, however, there is not much time spent investigating the impacts and outcomes of massive, historically-significant changes to humanity. There is also, (IMHO) very little character development. With three books cranked out in a year time frame, it feels like the writing was considered something that got in the way of telling the story. It feels like the author developed out a very delightful skeleton for the plot, but then did not care to add meat and polish beyond what was needed. There are, for me, too many asides where "science" details are spelled out clumsily—e.g. when one scientist says to another scientist, "Let me see if I've got this straight…" and then dumbs down and explains the implications so the poor uneducated reader can keep up—and too many cases of the same information and attitudes being re-expressed even within the same book (though this happens more in the later two books). All those complaints, and yet I still give it four stars, and recommend it to my friends. I would say it's not stellar writing—though I certainly cannot do better, I've read better—and it does not perform sci-fi's important role of walking through the full implications of each deviation from today's world…but it does tell a heck of a story and raise some very excellent topics for consideration.

The story held my attention and I appreciated the family dynamics on full display. I am looking forward to the next book.
