Shield of Winter
While this book is about Ivy and Vasic, it is also about the aftermath of Silence. There are repercussions from Silence's fall and people are dying. There was a big learning about regarding the empaths and what they can do.
I did enjoy reading about the Arrows and how they are choosing their jobs and what they do (and I'm excited for Aden's book). This is a Psy-Psy pairing (as is the next book) and there are some Changeling bits in this one, but not much. Overall this is much more serious in tone. The sexy-times are fairly tame from previous books too.
I did take a little bit of time to get invested in this one, but once I did, it was hard to put down. There is still a threat from Ming that (I assume) will be dealt with in a later book. I did think the ending was a little rushed (with regard to Ivy's solution regarding the Infected).
