I hated Tim in Something Like Summer, but I fell in love with him in Something Like Winter. I disliked Kelly in Something Like Spring, and now I'm a fan of him too. Funny what putting yourself in other people's shoes does to your perception of them, and Jay Bell is oh so good in making us see that and think about a person's circumstances before judging their actions.
I loved this book. I'm gonna go and re-read the whole series now and then continue with Thunder and Nathaniel's story :D
