Winter's Dawn

I really like Powell's writing - they do a great job setting up a scene and even the characters were interesting and developed in such a short amount of writing - but this was almost too short to really feel complete. The characters' relationship was mostly based off of assumptions and preconceived bias and the sex scene was out of place. Interesting concept, poor execution.

A wonderful fantasy with many touches of reality

My first of Arden Powell's works and definitely not my last! There is so much tension and tenderness worked into this wonderful novella. It's very inspiring. The themes of betrayal and second chances really stand out for me and how they apply to both of the main characters in similar and different ways. I would jump at the chance to read more of Thomas and Winter's story and how they're going to change each other and their world as they know it.
