Khamsin 'Storm' is such an awesome character. Anyways I saw quite a few reviews of The Winter King on blogs about how not to judge the book by it's cover which evidently I was guilty of doing and I am so glad I picked The Winter King up, all six hundred pages of it was just amazing.I was sucked into the story right from the beginning. Wilson so how was I supposed to know how amazing her writing is. Review 2: I passed up on The Winter King a few times because of that cover, it's so cheesy, and I've never read anything by C.L. I'd definitely recommend this book, it's pretty long, but so is The Lord of the Rings. Even with these few hiccups, it's still a great first in the series and I'm looking forward to the second book. I can honestly say though, what happened towards the end of the book totally took me by surprise, I didn't expect it to end the way it did. I would have liked more time spent with the couple together rather than being with side-characters, but I can understand why it was written like that. Some of the scenes weren't really needed and just took away from the story. I did have trouble with the periodic veer from the storyline, it tried my patience a bit.

Even though he's a nutter, he's still a good man that definitely can hold your attention.I thought the wold Wilson created was wonderful and creative, it basically reminded me of the middle ages an how the world was broken apart by different Kingdoms, with magi. The Winter King himself is a tad crazy, which you'll totally see and understand as the story unfolds. She definitely didn't fall into the TSTL category, she was a bit irrational at times, but quickly would come up with plans to get herself outta trouble. I really liked Khasmin, she's a very strong young woman that despite the lack of love she received growing up is still able to love the people around her. Review 1: I really enjoyed the Winter King, I usually don't read fantasy, but this definitely surprised and delighted me.
