Traitor of Redwinter by Ed McDonald

My recollection of this series wasn’t the whiny nature of Raine.   The book was good, a great follow-up to Daughter of Redwinter.  However, the whining was so incessant that I put the book down several times when I couldn’t stand the self-pity wallowing that Raine did.  The book had plenty of action to go with the whining and an appropriate amount of plot twists to maintain my interest.

The level of treachery and self-abuse was high.   It was hard to find a protagonist that wasn’t flawed and that brings a higher level of authenticity to the story.  Realistically the whining provided authenticity as well.  Having spent some time as a guidance counselor in both a junior high and senior high school, I can attest that whining can approach Olympic levels on some occasions.  

I enjoyed the book, I recommend it, and I look forward to the next book in the series.
