I really enjoyed77 Days in September, the first book in the Kyle Tait series by author Gorham. I sped through the book and was so glad when Book Two came out.I enjoyed DAUNTING DAYS OF WINTER - just not as much as book One. There were some gaping holes in the plot and it seemed very rushed in spots, especially at the end.I like Gorham's writing style. His dialogue is especially good, flows seamlessly. His SHTF scenarios are believable and aren't over-the-top.There was more violence in this sequel but the author kept it believable, not gratuitous, in my opinion.I appreciate that the book had an ending and wasn't left on a cliffhanger. If there is a Book Three, I will definitely read it.I just hope the author takes more time with it, if he does write Book Three. The first book was unhurried and it felt like it did take Kyle Tait 77 days to walk from Texas to Montana. In Book Two, the whole thing felt rushed and, comparably, it was like the winter lasted about five days.
