Cosidero que esta es una de mis favoritas, no solo por contarme a profundidad que paso con Brenna, sino que me proporcionan el punto de vista de un psi varĂ³n, que a diferencia de los psicis de los anteriores libros, este no puede tener emociones. Que a pesar de eso, se haya podido enomorar. Todos los cambios que se van dando al transcurso de la historia solo me han hecho querer continuar y no parar de descubrir a donde me llevan estas historias.

4/12/20: I think this is actually my 3rd time reading it, and hoo boy, I liked it SO MUCH BETTER now. I think reading the other Arrow books really helped me get in the headspace to fully enjoy this book and everything Judd had to offer. I was so turned off by him, especially after reading the first 2 previous very delicious and very emotional books, and this is a big shift in the series - not only having a male Psy and female changeling, but having someone who is incredibly reserved and more than a little standoffish be the male lead. I love, love, love how Judd has grown as a character in this series, and really appreciated this book a lot more seeing him develop as a mentor and friend to the other Arrows, younger SnowDancers, and Kaleb specifically. Bumping this up a whole star because of that.

4/19/17: I didn't enjoy this book nearly as much as the first two. I skimmed more of it than anything just to get through it, sadly. It was cool to see the inside of the SnowDancer compound though, and broaden the world a bit outside of the PsyNet. Hopefully we start seeing more action with the overarching plot soon.

A world war is building between the Psy (a race of people void of emotion) and the Changelings (packs of sentimental shape-shifters: wolves, cats, hawks, rats, creatures of the sea, etc).

The Psy torture their children to destroy every whisper of feeling, for they believe it's a weakness. They want a silent world, under their control. The Changelings won't have it.

There are mini-battles throughout all the books and you can smell the cold fire thickening the air. The character cast so massive and the intricacies in the plot so complex, Singh could spend the rest of her career on just this series (please don't--your Guild Hunter series is one of my favs).

Sci-fi and paranormal on the cutting edge, each book is a dark yet erotic portrait of the varying personalities in this supernatural world. Evocatively, stylistically, and sensually captivating, this unique futuristic series of fairy tales work on every level. The sex scenes are pure magic.

This review applies to the first eleven books in the series (all of which I've given 5 stars). Kiss of Snow (#10) is my favorite.
