They were both more mature than the other kids their age because Melanie was likely to die soon, so the pair knows how to deal with heavy things. Their relationship progressed with the changes going on around them. They were a really sweet young couple and their love was wholesome until it wasn’t. I really liked following Melanie and Harry. Also, because of certain plot reasons, Harry just really struggles to understand what the hell is going on, so things are explained several times in a few different ways. I feel like this one was a bit simpler than the first book only because the differences between the seasonal magic and whatever Roger and Dodger are, are many. But when the ruling Winter and Summer die, Mel and Harry are in for a big surprise. Harry is a local boy, one that Melanie has loved from childhood, and Harry loves Melanie just as much. Her mother died while giving birth, along with Melanie’s twin sister. Melanie was created by alchemist parents. It’s set in the same world but follows new characters. Seasonal Fears is the sequel to Middlegame (which I read and loved last year). Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for this advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
