Summer Storm (The Wrath of the Northmen, #0.5) par Elizabeth Baxter
I liked the premise of the main character but the execution fell short. Introductory novella but I just couldn't get into it and it ended too abruptly. I didn't like the villain and I didn't like the story overall enough to pick up the rest of the series. Interesting world building though, just not for me.
I was given this ARC in exchange for an honest review, although this author is new to me, I'm glad I gave her a try. Bramwell Thornley is an engineer from Ral Tora, and like all scientific people he only believed what science could prove, until the deadly Everwinter plunged his world into chaos. Bram thought he could defeat this cold that was taking over his world but he never imagined what he and his friends would have to go through.

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I sooo wanted to LOVE this book! I really did! Come on, epic fantasy meets science... I've gotten excited for less than this!
The fact that it was building up rather slow, and even though I understand it helped in the development of the characters, give depth to the plot, it kinda made me lose interest more than once. I might not have enough patience. This is probably what you need to actually get the feeling you are really going somewhere. Or should I have read the prequel first? Silly enough, I didn't know about it until now. It makes me wonder... I quite liked Baxter's style, so I might give it a try and possibly end up rereading Everwinter!… (plus d'informations)

I liked it for the most part. It took me a minute to get into reading it. The beginning was a little slow for my taste, but once Astrid showed up, I couldn't put it down. Shes a force to be reckoned with.
Can't really think of a good way to say anything without spoilers except Bram is clumsy funny, Falen is secretive but likable, the Panthers are a ball of laughs. And this story needs a book 2 already!! Need to see whats up north already.
