Dead of Winter
by Kresley Cole
I'm so conflicted after having read this book. While I absolutely love this series, this book didn't quite feel up to par, especially when compared with the previous two novels. It still had the elements I love - complex characters, scorching chemistry, and interesting Arcana abilities - but there felt like something was missing. Throughout the entire novel, I felt like I was just holding my breath, waiting for something to happen. And that thing never did happen. Because of that, Dead of Winter felt less like the book I had been anticipating all year and more like a filler book just to sate readers.
The conflict that played the largest role in this novel was Evie's choice between Death and Jack. Normally, I would love this - the tension between the three of them is off the charts - but when nothing else was really going on besides that, I got tired of it after a while. The only other conflicts that arose (fights between other arcana, etc) really only served the purpose of isolating Jack, Death, and Evie from the rest of the group.
I will say, though, that I think Cole did a lot of setting up in this novel for the next ones to come. We met a lot of new and potentially interesting characters that I'm anxious to explore. I wanted to see more of them in this book but I guess I'll have to be okay with waiting until the next one!
There's not a ton for me to say about this book because, like I said, not much happened. I did like it though and it made me more excited for what will happen in the next books. Hopefully Evie picks a guy soon so we can focus more on the large story!
