This book was better than the first! My favorite thing about this book is that we get to learn more about the other characters that were sort of secondary in the first book. In Winter's Awakening, Meg is the main character, and we view most of what is happening through her eyes. In Winters' Storm, we get to know Alik and Evan more, and are introduced to Creed.I loved that we got to see these character's grow, and that we get to see Alik and Evan as more than just Meg's goofy little brothers who like to play with the plumbing.I also love the dynamic between Creed and Meg, and how it creats a tense little love triangle between Creed, Meg, and Cole. I love how we get to dive into Cole's emotions as he struggles to keep up with his friends, who are all super-powered meta-humans.Another thing I loved about this book was that we got to learn a bit more about what makes Dr. Williams so evil. And just when you think he couldn't get any more sinister, a neat little plot twist magnifies his evil ten-fold, and you're left with chills racing down your spine as you realize just how much the evil doctor is capable of.A small issue i had with this book was the shifting in point of view. In the first book this happened chapter to chapter and so it was easier to follow. In this one, however, from time to time there was a POV switch in the middle of a chapter, which could be a bit confusing, but only for a second. Luellen is a such a good story teller that I completely forgot about this as I read.A thrilling read from cover to cover, better than the first! Once again, the story leaves us hanging, biting our nails in anticipation of what will happen next.
