"I grin at his exasperation, but my smile is short lived as the dull edge of his practice sword swipes under my knees."Miera is a Winterian refugee orphan raised by the general, Sir. She is training to be a warrior alongside her friend and future king, Mather. When she discovers the ancient locket t...
It hit me recently that almost every YA book I have read, involves some kick-ass heroine. I realized that this is the appeal of YA books to me. Traditional fantasy always had the typical rough and ready manly, man and the women were there to die tragically to cause them main pain, and further their ...
When Meira was just a baby her Kingdom of Winter was overthrown by the evil King of Spring, Angra. Now she is one of only 8 survivors. Her group has spent the past 16 years searching for the two halves of a conduit which could restore magic to Winter. They are constantly on the move, avoiding captur...
Okay, I'm just going to confess and get this out of the way first:I envisioned the main character as Elsa the whole time. White hair like snow? Check. Blue eyes and pale skin? Check and check. Love of the all things cold? Check. A little snowman companion obsessed with summer? Negative... but the se...
3.5 stars. After a rocky start I finally finished Snow Like Ashes. The paragraph where the protagonist, Meira acted like a silly school girl over her sparring opponent's good looks annoyed me. For a while she pretty much got weak in the knees over any good looking shirtless male which resulted in so...
This one was a bit of a let down for me. Started off quite good. I started reading on a kindle, then had to get a hardback copy because I needed a map I could refer to easily and its not so easy to do that on a kindle. Unique world building and a reasonably interesting main character. I admired Me...
No matter what happens, no matter who turns on me, no matter what pompous swine thinks he has power over me, I am still me. I will always be me. For those of you that have no expectations whatsoever about Snow Like Ashes, I think you will enjoy this book more than people who had quite high expecta...
Hmm....I have mixed feelings about this one. On the one hands, I'll give points for originality. Four kingdoms with eternal seasons? That's one I haven't seen before. Awesome! I really thought naming the cities in the Seasons kingdoms after months (ex: Jannuari for Winter) was pretty cool...until ...
I loved this book. It is a solid fantasy book with a thought through magic system. The world is creative without being too confusing. The main characters are interesting and enjoyable. What I liked most about Meira – the main character – is that she does not lose focus. She scolds herself when she...
Warning: Contains spoilers and some badly veiled rantingWell, after all that reading, I am left feeling... kind of discontented. Everything seemed to build to this beautiful breaking point, then when the actual act of resolve happened, it was over in a breeze. It felt like it never happened. I read ...
