Chaos Agent by Lee Winter
5.0
After reading Chaos Agent, I can definitely say that Michelle Hastings is now by far my favorite Lee Winter character. I just love her so much. She has masked her vulnerability well. Her redemption journey is so heartwarming. She was a different kind of Ice Queen. When everyone else was just slightly thawed, Hastings was fully thawed. And I didn't mean it in a bad way, because even though I love ice queens (and that they only melt to the love of their lives), Michelle was a better person when fully melted. Her charisma is still there even when thawed. She never wanted to be an evil ice queen, she just needed to be in order to survive.
On the other hand, we all need an Eden in our life—someone who can be our safe place, someone that sees the good in us despite knowing the evil that lives within us, someone whose patient. Earlier chapters, she was kind of annoying, I felt secondhand embarassment for her character but I guess it was necessary for readers to understand the betrayal she felt after. Just like Michelle, her character was written beautifully but opposite to Michelle's.
Both their characters is a realization—no one is too evil nor perfect—good and evil can coexist. In the end, they both meet half way, realizing we're all only humans, we make mistakes and can still be good people.
Moreover, the twist of this book, of who five is, *wooof* blew me away! Lee Winter is a mastermind. Of all the suspects in my list, *five's real name* wasn't on it. And imagine my shock when it was revealed.
I know from the start that this is going to be a redemption story, but I was still mesmerized by how everything was unraveled. Very well written and executed.
Lee Winter's books are astonishing—we fell in love not just with the story but with the characters as well.
I love Michelle and Eden so much that I made a spotify playlist for them
