Snow Like Ashes

By Sara Raasch

Book Overview

A striking fantasy tale of dark magic, dangerous politics, and discovering your true self--perfect for fans of Game of Thrones , An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses . Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now the Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter's magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since. Orphaned as an infant during Winter's defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee. Training to be a warrior--and desperately in love with her best friend, Winter's future king--she would do anything to help Winter rise to power again. So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter's magic, Meira decides to go after it herself--only to find herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics--and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

Pretty Good

This book was pretty good. I wish the author hadn't skipped over some of the details or move along so fast. I still enjoyed it when she took the time to put in details. I would definitely recommend this book!
