Toward the Dawn (A Western Light #2): Book Review

Book by: Mary Connealy

The second book in A Western Light series picks up a short time after book one finishes.

This novel starts slow, which mirrors the frustration of Kat and Seb experiencing a very long winter in the hidden canyon. But readers are treated to a marriage of convenience story that eventually picks up the pace and races to the final pages…only to leave readers wondering what will happen next. In book three.

We revisit many of the same characters from book one, learning what happened to our villains. There are more villains added and some surprising outcomes near the end of the story. We don’t get much page time with newer characters so it was difficult to make a connection with them.

Connealy’s signature humour doesn’t really make an appearance until halfway through the novel when the storyline really takes off.

Yes, it starts slower than other novels by Connealy, but stick with it. The fun gets started about halfway through, and that’s where this story shines.

I received an ecopy from the publisher through NetGalley. All opinions expressed are my own.
