I'm enjoying the world building, but staying for the character building. ( )

91 points/100 (4.75/5 stars)
Warning: mild cliffhanger (status: nothing important, I just don't like ending a book with a passing out scene.)

Tiger is still determined to save those children, just without Jonas and Nuri's help. Too bad for her (though it is really a blessing), they won't let her do this alone. Nuri knows she needs the help, especially now that they have to take on Winter Halo, the research company responsible for taking the children.

I'm really glad I finally got around to this series. I love Tiger, I love the world, and I really, really love the story. I'm having a blast reading these. I'm still wallowing in Tiger inspired depression, though. Her situation tugs at me.

Winter Halo is less focused on building the world or the characters. Nothing new has been added since book one (though it does expect you to have read book one prior to two, for certain). Instead we're focused on the story. Less happens related to the plot than what happens personally. There is a lot of stalling for time, plot wise, since we have a whole book to go after this. So, the main focus is on Tiger, and on Jonas.

Yet, there was still a lot that happened in this one. I liked the work Tiger does with Winter Halo. Lots of undercover work, lots of danger. Very much reminds me of her Riley Jenson, Guardian series, with the undercover work and the danger. Tiger's ability to shape the way she looks is invaluable to this plot. Though, I could have done without the big boob scenes, even if it did lead to some fantastic flirting.

I will say Winter Halo felt incomplete. All of the goals weren't accomplished in this one. This definitely suffers from middle child in a trilogy syndrome. I'm okay with that, and have come to expect it. It just wasn't as interesting as City of Light.

I love Tig. She is completely willing to sacrifice herself to save these kids. Though at least half of that is because she is pretty reckless. She only takes help when she doesn't have another option. She is lonely, but she has trouble being around others or cooperating with them. Yet, she is committed to saving these children and stopping this evil, no matter what it does to her. Then, she is determined to go back to her lonely existence.

The sexy still isn't directed where I want it to be. That is all. I expect more out of The Black Tide. I will get my happily ever after with the right guy. Arthur can't stop me, just watch.

Tiger continues to try to save the children from the group experimenting on them trying to help the vampires and wraiths become immune to light. Tiger and Jonas continue to work to save those being experimented on and protect their world from the evil from the rifts. Very engaging, read straight through.

I wanted to like it more. Book two, right? World building established, characters you already give a crap about, time to get on with the story. Yeah? Not so much. I'm sitting here a little bewildered. 300-ish pages later, and I realize nothing really happened. I mean, stuff happened, there was a lot of running here & there & changing of shapes. But, nothing much was accomplished. I'm starting to get the feeling this is really one book padded into a trilogy/series...more Cat & Bear was all that kept it at three stars. Totally disappointed at the lack of actual story line accomplished. ( )

Quick read, mainly because I skimmed through it a lot. I didn't disappoint me, as it did to many other readers, but that's only because I wasn't expecting much. Paradoxes. ( )
