Cold Fire by Kate Elliott
4.0
I definitely enjoyed this sequel more than the previous book, though it slowed waaaay down in the middle. There was a lot more action and conspiracy, and a big twist at the three-quarter way mark (far in this big book, I know, but it still grabbed my interest!), all of which added to a fairly fun adventure and an ending that will be quite epic.
There was more depth into the spirit world and we got to look into the Wild Hunt, which was one of my favourite parts of the book. It added some intense weight and shock and drama to the story.
As far as the characters, there was a serious lack of Rory. Cat grew very well and continues to let her feistiness shine. Most of the book revolved around Cat and Vai's relationship. Seriously, there are at least a hundred pages of this book talking about food, and Cat spends way too much time getting literally fed by Vai. Speaking of Vai, I'd hoped for it from the previous book, and thankfully it delivered! He was muuuuch more tolerable and easier to relate to.
Though the writing is beautiful, but the pacing in the middle seemed to stretch on forever, and I didn't think it needed to be as long as it was.
All in all, I'm looking forward to see how this series wraps up! Cat's got one big adventure ahead of her!
