Winter's Scars: The Forsaken (Winter's Saga #5)is an amazing setup to the next book. The action sequence that defines every novel, of this series, happens so early in the novel. It really defined the rest of the book. It changes the dynamic of so many characters.This novel works because every character is trying to recover after this family has been shattered. They are at a crossroad, as a reader, you don't know if they are going to pick up the pieces and find their way back to the family introduce in theWinter's Awakening: The Metahumans Emerge (Winter's Saga #1).It also changed my opinion of several characters in the book. Characters I was rooting for the entire series felt like enemies of the state. I'm looking at you Margo Winter. Then I started to have sympathies for villains, like Donovan Arkdone. Even when it looked like ostracized characters were going to find happiness I couldn't trust it, that's you Kylie.This time around Karen Luellen created so much conflict from one action from the previous book. It's become such a "Luke, I'm your father," kind of moment but it was in no way written that way in the previous novel.Will the Winter family get their happy ending? I honestly can't tell and from the mistrust that Dr. William has seeded into this family you can't bet on it.Winter's Scars: The Forsakenleaves you anticipating the next novel.
