Nalini Singh's Psy-Changeling series continues to be laced with unleashed emotions, deep passions, fantastic characters a rich universe of competing races and a great story arc that has lasted over many books. Reading 'Shield of Winter' without having read the preceding twelve books (starting with Slave to Sensation) leaves the reader at a severe disadvantage of not fully grasping the laws of the universe, key character info from the protagonists of the previous books and the interplay and histo ...more

Initial Thoughts: OK, this one did not grab me like the other books in the Psy Changeling series did. I did skip a few books in the series and personally, it didn't make a difference to me. This book took me a long time to read. Parts of it were excruciatingly slow. My personal preference in this series is to see Psy characters with Changelings as Psy/Psy couples seem a little robotic for my tastes. The book did pick up toward the end because Ms. Singh writes very steamy sex scenes.

Loved Vasic & Ivy. Loved Rabbit! I love this world and all the changes that have come since the first book. Spending time with Sasha again made me think about that first book and all the changes that have come for the Psy since then. I've really got nothing else but squee. Sex tips from Judd! Rabbit with the Arrows! I read these as soon as they come out and then I'm sad that I have to wait for the next one. I have to remind myself that I don't mind waiting when the quality stays this high. ...more

Singh managed to surprise me again. If I had made a guess before starting this book, I would have said Vasic's story would be intense and dark. It had a few of those moments, mainly when it came to fighting the infected and maddened Psy. The relationship developing between Vasic & Ivy was characterized by a joyous sweetness that was wonderful to read, while still managing to address the deep emotional issues too. ...more
