Goodreads Synopsis:

Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading—and no one is safe.

Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic—so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, she jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the very magic she’s learning to control—and make the biggest sacrifice of all.

Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira—and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their ranks, winning the war—and protecting Meira—slips farther and farther out of reach.

Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she’s freed by an unexpected ally who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer’s slave trade, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.

As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together…or lose everything.

Spoiler Free Reviews of Snow Like Ashes & Ice Like Fire

Writing:

Again, I love Sara’s writing style! The writing has stayed consistent throughout the series. The writing is engaging, beautiful and fast paced at times when it needs to be. Also, as I have said in the last 2 reviews, it has maps!!!

Plot:

I really enjoyed the plot of the first book, the second book was really good too but not as good as the first and this third book, I honestly think was better than the first book. I loved that we got to finally learn about all of the seasons and rhythms! And I absolutely loved the ending, up until the 2nd last chapter I still wasn’t 100% sure what was going to happen in the end!

Characters:

We didn’t meet too many new characters in this book, but I do still love the development of our old characters. We lost some more of the favourites, but that was expected, as it is in most books. Overall I really loved the characters and they were written so well that you felt hate for the ‘bad guys’, loved the ‘good guys’ and was upset when we lost some of the characters!

Overall:

I loved this series and it is definitely another fave and I’m glad that I read it all at once rather than the first book and then leaving the next for a couple months. There is so much info to know in this series that I don’t think I would have been able to get back on track with the story after leaving the story for a while, so I’m glad I did it this way.

Highly recommend this series to any fantasy dystopian reader!
