Shadow and Ice by Gena Showalter

3.0

This book was okay it was lacking a lot of the humor you get with Showalter's LOTU. I don't know if that was intentional it honestly felt as though it was someone else writing for her. Vale was okay Knox was a little better. All the names of the other characters where so confusing. Union, Bold, and Rush just to name a few. You didn't know if it was a random word in the sentence until you realized it was a combatants name. So little outside character development. I don't know if I'm alone in disliking Knox's power, Shadows? I could get into it until the Cyclone or Vortex tidbit was added. I liked when it kept Vale out of his weapons but lost me after that. Also my heart hurts for Shiloh. Not fair and he's only mentioned a few times after. I've loved a lot of Showalter's writing so I gave the second book a chance. I have to say it's better.
