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.

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… (mehr)

Unfortunately, this is just another young adult. Nothing bad with YA as such, but unfortunately it is breeding ground for generic bland fantasy books that don't go much beyond checking off the required content.
Chosen not-like-the-other-girls heroine - check
Succeeding where other failed because she is the MC - check
Love triangle - check

The plot twist was so obvious I hope it wasn't meant to be a plot twist. Heroine being self-centred then supposedly learning from mistakes and ops does another self-centred thing again. Insta love, but let's be honest, the guy is so perfect he almost convinced me to continue the series, so I don't blame her. Luckily the end closed this part of the story, so I don't feel any need to continue.

Redeeming points:
Theron aka the perfect YA love interest
Season based kingdoms turned out to be quite interesting, unfortunately I am not sure how it really works, like there is really no explanation how they produce any food in places where there is one season all the time. ( )

On the negative side, it's very formulaic and predictable, and I didn't ever feel like I cared about the characters, who didn't seem real.

On the positive side, after the very boring first 100 pages, the story got more entertaining. And, even though it's a lot of pages, they have very few words on each, so it's a quick read. ( )

A beautiful YA Fantasy story, with kingdoms and magic and fights and endless action, in between which, there are small moments of tranquility and romance. I want to mention that the main villain reminds me of Hitler, as his ethos and his torturing methods are disturbingly similar. Also


**SPOILERS AHEAD**


the concentration camps where the Winter people were held gave me strong vibes of the torturing the Jewish people went through in the second world war


I want to also say I'm a strong Meira x Theron shipper, I can't wait to see if their relationship will grow in the sequels. ( )

I like that I can't figure it out easily.. ( )

To everyone who read the first (horrible) draft of this story and did not laugh when twelve-year-old me said, “Someday, I’m going to get this published.”
