This is another book where I didn't read the prequel of. This may be the reason why I'm only giving it 3 stars.

It may also caused some confusion for me when I first started reading and have no idea where the story is going. However, that did not deter me from enjoying this book. If anything, this book at least got me interested in knowing what happened in the first book.

What I like about Winter's Light is the fact that throughout the story, I was given bits and pieces of what happened in the first book and that was a good way of getting me into the story. I also liked how there was different perspectives throughout the book, giving the overall story a more complete feel and anticipation of what was about to happen. I also liked how each chapter was pretty short and I can easily finish one chapter and take a break. For someone like me who sometimes can't sit down and read a really long chapter but has to finish that chapter before moving on....this is a blessing~

Now on to the not so good stuff. I feel like the building towards the climax of the story took way too long. It was about almost 3/4 of the book before I can feel anything good is about to happen to the story and that's a minus for me unfortunately. Also, while Winter's characterization is superb...especially when written by a male author, I still feel that there is something...off...about her and I can't seem to find the words to describe it. Not to worry, it may just be me and my weird musings~

Overall, quite the enjoyable story and I am looking forward to the sequel!
