Blood Snow

Tears of Winter, Book 2

By: Kingsley Khan

Narrated by: Renée Nolen, Alfie Syme

After Tristan found himself on planet Yaraganin with the rest of humanity, it took weeks to find his way to the spot he would call home. Himself and five other women from the earth and their children made the long trek to Beast Grove. With five other local women and their children, he set up the start of their homestead just in time for the start of a Deep Winter, one that only comes every hundred years.

Now the race for survival starts. The fear of starving to death hangs over their heads due to the increased metabolism their higher attributes give them. The northern Iron Dutchy will be plunged into hardship as trade routes are closed by ice, and the population will have to feed on each other to make it through the nearly yearlong winter.

Floors in the tower must be climbed, and levels in the dungeon of Beast Grove descended. Credits need to be gained from the system shop as it is humanity's only chance of survival.

can't wait to get my hands on the next book , I am loving this story so far

needs more substance

I still like the series but it's really light on the spicy scenes. it needs more scenes & longer scenes, more details. stop with the fade to black garbage.
needs a little more action/adventure as well. too much is related to the "system". it's like constantly learning rules to a massive game.

Excellent

The story is very unique. Character interactions are good. Most things make sense and there are not many holes in plot or world in general. The narrators did a great job.

Enjoyable but…..

So I haven’t completely finished this one yet and have to say the story is really good but it kind of seems like the author didn’t write this at one time or is trying to speed run the story. This book seems to be blowing through plot points like crazy condensing major events into 2-3 chapters when it could have easily been the storyline for the entire book. On top of that I think the author shot themselves in the foot by introducing such a large cast of characters because now there are women that the MC has almost no interaction with but are main characters which is odd. This story also really showcases the weaknesses in the authors writing because for some reason the author keeps buffing the MC but has not really written any solid fights scenes for him which seems dumb, same issue with the spicy scenes were there are almost exactly same descriptions and acts as previous scenes or they are just kinda sped through with no real detail. This all comes together in what is almost the most frustrating thing which SPOILER SPOILER SPOILER
The end section of this book which completely changes the entire story and washes away the entire plot of the whole story it went from a survival must build shelter to survive winter story to moving to find family winter is no longer a major threat and now for some reason nobody is worried about food anymore which makes the story soooo unsatisfying to read because all the work put into the home being made for 1.5 books is erased and so are the relationships with the women beginning to seem kind of wishy washy really not a fan of the direction the author decided on will still finish out the series but this ending definitely took the series from a solid 4.5/5 to a 3/5
