Snow Like Ashes by Sara RaaschMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Synopsis:
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. The Winterians' only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been searching for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild their 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 half of the ancient locket that can restore their magic, Meira decides to go after it herself—only to find herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics, and to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.

My Thoughts:
This book started off really slowly for me. I pushed through it and it did get better. I didn't like most of the characters, though. I did like Theron, though. He seemed to be kind and generous in a world where that seemed to be out of place. This book was ok. I did enjoy it but it was too slow building up. I don't know if I will read book 2 or not.View all my reviews
