Review # 1 was written on 2019-01-09 00:00:00 Gregory Shrader After the emotional events of the first book, the two lovers in this Japanese Shogunate-ish fantasy are split up. He's on the road and she must defend her new position as the head of her household. Winter is coming, indeed, in this tragic -- and beautiful -- setting. Tone and setting are where this book shines, but the main characters have really grown into their own even if their situations are rather horrible. Or you know their situations are only going to get REALLY bad soon, anyway. :) These ARE tragedies. Tearjerker tragedies. And damn... I hate to say this, but all these old-time Japanese are just THUGS. Murderous brigands pretending to be honorable. Just... wow.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-11 00:00:00 Justin Henderson [there hadn't been any promises technically. But he felt guilty, proving that he knows he's doing something wrong, something that will hurt Kaede when she finds out. And he constantly thinks about her and his inner monologues proclaim his undying love for her so how could he nevertheless sleep with another woman?! And don't give me "biological reasons" because at this point in the tale he still had two intact hands (hide spoiler)]
