Arthur and Martin have settled into a quiet life, orbiting each other both on the job and off. Still in recovery from his last devastating mission, Martin is adjusting to his new reality as a permanent desk jockey at the Agency while Arthur is adjusting to his deep feelings for Martin. He's not even sure what to put on the Agency's dreaded form B-837, the "relationship form". Are they dating? "Involved"? In a committed "something"? The winter holidays interrupt their routines with the annual threat of annual obligatory trips for both of them. At first, old habits rise up to conspire to keep them separated until after the new year, but Martin derails both their plans when he asks Arthur to join him for a week in New York City. He's still haunted by the ghosts of his childhood, but is he ready to face a new future with Arthur? He knows there is only one way to find out, despite his understated anxiety. Arthur arrives in New York City ready to play tourist, but instead finds himself unexpectedly and deeply entwined in the mysteries of Martin's past. Through a risky confrontation with the underground art world to a secret, heavily guarded storage unit, to sharing the quiet joy of impromptu cooking lessons, Martin and Arthur get to know each other on a deeper level than they ever have before. Together they confront the hardest and scariest mission they've ever faced: learning what it means, and how it feels, to fall in love.… (meer)

An absolutely wonderful sequel to "His Quiet Agent" and "Merlin in the Library". I adored both the first novel and the short story, and devoured "Agents of Winter". The development of Arthur and Martin's relationship, the trips they take, everything they do, Carol, everything is just wonderful. It was funny and heart-wrenching and so fun, and I say that as someone who's not Christian and has been struggling with the proliferation of it in media these days. I will admit those parts were not really things I enjoyed or fully understood, but I did appreciate the way the narrative tackled both leads' complicated relationships with Christianity.

Also the visit to the Met was fun, even if I saw both Starry Nights at the Van Gogh exhibit in MoMA when I was there, along with the haystacks. I just imagined the room as it was in MoMA, and it's one of my few fond memories of New York. Standing in front of Starry Night - my then favorite painting, now second, since I found Starry Night Over the Rhone - without any barriers, and completely alone with it was a phenomenal experience, and to see it in the story this way was wonderful.

A phenomenal sequel, especially if you want more m/m books about ace characters. Loved it. ( )

I struggled mostly because over 45% of this book has the characters apart, so it feels more like a disconnect long distance romance, and I don’t do as well with that genre. I just wish we saw them together more. ( )
