Jun 10, Melissa rated it really liked it Shelves: I really liked the addition of Creed to the story in this book. It was an interesting look into the way "the other side" works. I also really appreciated the expansion of the brothers' characters.
The pace was quicker and smoother. It made it a much easier read. I still had a problem with the author's choice to jump tenses in the storytelling. However it was alleviated a bit by the fact that Meg was out of commission for a good portion of the book so she wasn't really a point of view for most of I really liked the addition of Creed to the story in this book.

May 06, Wendy rated it really liked it Shelves: A great continuation of the Winter family saga.
I would have to say that I enjoyed this one as much, if not a little more, than the first in the series. The plot is smooth and the characters are likable.

I am glad that we got to know the other characters in the book besides Meg and the introduction of Creed was a great addition to the story. Still a couple problems with the editing that takes away from the reading of the story. Wrong usage of homonyms, awkward switch of POV and one very obvious A great continuation of the Winter family saga. Wrong usage of homonyms, awkward switch of POV and one very obvious mistake in character name which prevents me from giving the book 5 stars, but overall a very enjoyable read and one that will have me buying the next book in the series.
Dec 20, Anjie Kendall rated it it was amazing Shelves: Even more edge of your seat action, twists you don't see coming, and wide-eyed wonder of people being exposed to the "real world" for the first time. Poor Creed trying to order water caused another laugh out loud moment while reading this. The new characters introduced in this book, oh, the reactions I had. Shaking my head at the trusting of Creed, watching the internal struggle that Farrow seems to go through. New people to hate. Oh, it's just so rich! When the action ramps up at the end, it doe Even more edge of your seat action, twists you don't see coming, and wide-eyed wonder of people being exposed to the "real world" for the first time.
When the action ramps up at the end, it doesn't let up until the very end. Jun 07, Jennifer Erwin rated it really liked it. Very good continuation into a 6 I believe book series. The first one really drew me in. Then I discovered I already had book 2 whoo-hoo! Book one really does a good job laying out the ground work and the story line, and then ending at a point that didn't feel like a nasty cliff hanger.
Book 2 Winter's Storm: Retribution really does a good job continuing on, yet adding more layers to this expanding tale. The ending of this one was just enough closure, and with just enough teaser for book 3 Very good continuation into a 6 I believe book series.
The ending of this one was just enough closure, and with just enough teaser for book 3. Thank you for that Ms. Can't wait for the next book. Mar 06, Sharon rated it liked it Recommends it for: Recommended to Sharon by: Editing needs some work for example, right at the end Creed is mentioned when the character being talked about is Cole. You'll catch it when you read it.
This won't stop me from finishing the rest of Saga though. I am enjoying it. Jan 12, Allison rated it it was amazing. With Amazon Prime I borrowed the first book since it had great reviews and I have read three of them in about two weeks! They are page turners and are hard for me to put down just with real life I usually have to!
I wasn't sure what this book would bring but the adventure continues and Karen writes well and keeps you wanting more! I loved where the story led and the little love stories from time to time in it. Aug 05, Shannon Hutcheson rated it it was amazing Shelves: I've just read books 1 and 2 in one sitting. I can't get enough! I love your series. I love how real and visceral the depth and power of love is with your characters. The Winters' world is so vivid and clear I can almost taste it. Williams is just as oppositely evil and despicable. Here goes book 3. I hope there is more! Jan 04, Christy rated it it was amazing Shelves: You wrote a great book in 2.
There were times tht the action was so great and the story was very telling tht I couldnt put it dwn, even in the middle of Bjj tourney for my daughter, which if u have ever been are EXTREMLY loud.
See a Problem?
Having read this 1 first and now being able to read it after book 1 finally it all made sence and came together great. Sep 21, Amy rated it it was amazing. Great book, I was concerned at first where Creed would come in as this is his part to the story. I finally saw where and this book kept me entertained. I loved the ending and can't wait to read part three. I love this family as they have been through so much with both books. I hope Creed is in 3 as well.
Great work, great story line and very interesting. Jan 02, Cathy rated it it was amazing. It was even better than the first! Story continues with Meg and her family along with a few others in trying to stop Dr. Williams from hurting their family. Really loved the direction this one went with adding Creed. Aug 06, Morgan rated it it was amazing Shelves: A-freaking-mazing, even better than the first.
I love the Winter family and cant wait to see what happens with Meg and Creed And holy cow, Cole, what where you thinking Nov 04, Midnight Sapp rated it really liked it Shelves: I had this book for more than a year on my kindle; I know regret not reading it sooner. Couldn't put it down, it was really good. Thank God I don't have to wait to read the next one because I already have it! Damn you Cole, I liked you on the first book, but know i'm rooting for Creed. Feb 17, Heather rated it it was amazing Shelves: Believing Derfel and his men to be dead, Lancelot has told Arthur and the men of Dumnonia that, despite his best efforts, Ynys Trebes fell and it was the fault of Derfel.
Derfel arrives in time to hear this slander, declaring Lancelot a liar and challenging him to back up his story with his sword.
Winter's Storm: Retribution
Arthur calms the situation, claiming that in battle men are often mistaken. Derfel is rewarded for his service to Arthur and is declared a lord, but shortly after learns that Merlin has gone north, leaving Nimue on the Isle of the Dead. With the scar on his hand reminding Derfel of his duty to Nimue, he travels south to rescue her himself.
When he arrives at the Isle he is warned by the guards that he is free to enter, but once inside he can never be released. He enters nonetheless and finds Nimue at the southern tip of the isle. She initially attacks himin madness, but he clasps their scarred hands together and Nimue's wits return.
As he returns to the entrance, he finds that Galahad and his men have followed him south to ensure that he could leave the isle. In the months following this adventure, Derfel and Nimue become lovers. Nimue considers leaving Merlin and the path of the Gods, but realizes that life with Derfel is an impossible dream. Arthur meanwhile, is contemplating a final assault on Powys to end the war.
To do that, he must ensure that the Saxons, led by Aelle , remain at peace, and only money can achieve that. On the advice of Nimue he makes enforced loans from all Christian and pagan shrines, an act which the Christians resent him for. Meeting with Aelle, Arthur negotiates three months of peace for the gold and information on how to capture the Powysian stronghold of Ratae Leicester. With the eastern border secure, Arthur marches his army north into Gwent, where at Glevum he holds a council of war with Tewdric and Meurig, the Edling of Gwent. Galahad volunteers to travel north with Derfyl as an emissary to King Gorfyddyd to ascertain Gorfyddyd's intentions toward Mordred.
Merlin arrives there too and declares that Derfel is not to be harmed. Gorfyddyd tells Galahad that he would adopt Mordred himself until he was old enough to serve as king. In private, Merlin tells them that Gorfyddyd is lying and says that Gorfyddyd will kill Mordred in order to fulfill his ambition of becoming High King. During his time in Powys, Derfel meets Ceinwyn and falls in love with her. She has been betrothed to Gundleus in return for Siluria's assistance.
Derfel tells her of Arthur's wish to marry her to Lancelot, whom he wishes to place on the throne of Siluria upon Gundleus's death to strengthen the alliance between the British kingdoms. Ceinwyn tells Derfel that she is tired of being used as dynastic gaming piece.
Derfel makes a declaration of love, to which she makes no reaction. Derfel then swears an oath to protect her, which she accepts. Upon Galahad and Derfel's return to Glevum, Tewdric refuses to commit his troops to the war as he accepts Gorfyddyd's assurance that Mordred is safe. Arthur, however, believes Merlin, and tries to persuade Tewdric to change his mind. Eventually Arthur gives up on Tewdric and marches north to confront Gorfyddyd alone. Derfel and his men undertake a night march to reach and capture Lugg Vale at dawn, ready to hold the position for when Gorfyddyd's main army arrives.
The main army is led by Nimue, who has an uncanny ability to find her way in the dark. They succeed in taking the Vale and await Arthur there. Arthur arrives in time to destroy the vanguard of Gorfyddyd's army.
He sends Galahad south in the hope that the men of Gwent will come and fight now that they know battle has begun. He then offers Derfel his unique armour so that Gorfyddyd's soldiers will think Derfel is Arthur, which will give Arthur the opportunity to spring a trap on the rear of Gorfyddyd's army and hopefully drive them into panic.
Derfel is confronted by Valerin, who was betrothed to Guinevere before she ran off with Arthur.
Lucas Davenport Books in Order:
When Valerin tells Derfel, believing him to be Arthur, that Guinevere was a whore, Derfel cannot control his temper and fights Valerin. After killing him, Derfel finds a lovers' ring on his corpse with Guinevere's symbol on it, which he throws away.

The battle then begins with Derfel's troops being forced further uphill, until Morfans, another of Arthur's commanders, gives the signal for Arthur to attack. Arthur's charge destroys almost a third of Gorfyddyd's army, but the king sees the danger in time to defend against it. Arthur's trap has failed. During a lull in the fighting, Galahad returns with the bad news that no-one from Gwent is coming except for perhaps a few volunteers.
However, a handful of men from Kernow led by Prince Tristan do come. Tristan wishes to repay Arthur for fighting against Owain. As fighting resumes, Derfel and his men are beaten further back. Then battle stops once again as Cuneglas, Edling of Powys, offers them the chance to surrender. Before battle can recommence, Merlin arrives and commands both armies to cease hostilities because he needs all Britons to help him in his Quest for the Cauldron of Clyddno Eiddyn. Gorfyddyd is furious that Merlin might destroy his chance of becoming High King. He refuses Merlin's requests and readies his troops again for battle.
Merlin, turning to Derfel, informs him that the Black Shield Irishmen currently allied to Gorfyddyd would switch sides and give Arthur victory. Sure enough, as battle resumes, the Black Shields attack Gorfyddyd and give the victory to Arthur. In the aftermath, Gorfyddyd is fatally wounded but uses his last breath to curse Arthur and declare Guinevere a whore. Cuneglas apologizes to Arthur for his father and swears an alliance will exist between Dumnonia and Powys against the Saxons, bringing the civil war to an end.
