Lord of the White Hell, Book 2

Lord of the White Hell is character-driven fantasy with some romance and focus on social structures. It had me captivated from start to finish and is easily one of my favorite books I've read so far this year.

Full Review

First of all, I've got to say that I just adore Kiram and Javier together. I love their relationship and what they're like together. Also, there are some great secondary characters - specifically Nestor. He's surprisingly awesome. The only slight complaint I have is that most of this story is based around a mystery. A mystery that I knew the who and how of in the first quarter of the first book (I'm still not completely sure as to the why...) and every single clue all pointed to the culprit. To me, this is the problem with books that rely so heavily on a mystery. I will say, the author gives out plenty of clues and I loved the honest reactions when the characters realized what happened. I just can't - for the life of me - figure out what took Kiram so long to figure it out. And, you know, he really didn't. The solution was just dumped on his lap. Ah, well. I still loved the book and am very excited to read more by this author.
