What did you think of it? Favorite or least favorite characters? Favorite or least favorite part? Will you read the next one?

I find Sir interesting and very practical. My favorite was Mather, how he really cared about Meira. At first I thought Meira should have waited to go on real fighting mission, but she showed herself quite capable so...
Really love this book.

I started this book a few months ago but I never got past the fifth chapter and I still don't know if I should.

I absolutely loved it. I'm not usually a fantasy fan, but I really enjoyed it! Looking forward to the next book!

i really enjoy this book because i take you to another planet and i love all the character but my favorites were sir and meira

I thought this book was fantastic! I'm a fan of fantasy always, so I knew this would be right up my alley. I found myself really rooting for Meira the whole time, and I totally fell for Theron. I'm really hoping his characters grows more in the second book. I also loved Meira's interactions with the slaved Winterians. Such a wonderful story. I cannot WAIT for the second book!

Yeah. I loved her interactions with the slaved Winterians. So wonderful!

I didn't enjoy this book as much as I was hoping. I ended up putting it down after around 300 pages - ridiculous, I know. My favourite character though was definitely Theron and I liked the concept of the different kingdoms.

I just finished it like right now and I loved it!!! <3 <3 I dont know who i like better, though--Mather or Theron? I think I will be happy with either one of them :)

I'm really struggling to get through this book, it's just not interesting to me at all

I keep taking it out to read and have not gotten to it yet. sounds like most folks like it

I just finished this book and loved it! It took me awhile to get into it though. I enjoyed all the acting throughout the book. I also liked that there was enough romance in the book to keep that plot open but not so much that it was basically the whole story. I'm deffently reading the next one.

I finished this book a few days ago, I'm just going to copy paste my review:

"I have mixed feelings about this book.

When I started reading I kept thinking that the world was silly until I got halfway through the book and this world grew on me. The real turn off for me was how incredibly predictable the whole book was. Within the first 6 chapters I had guessed correctly the main plot twists that were meant to be a surprise by the end of the book. Every time a new plot device was introduced, you could clearly see how it was going to turn out.

Even so, I found myself unable to stop reading. Specially because the protagonist feels so real and believable. The selling point for this book is Meira, who you see grow throughout the book and hooks you in to the story. She is scared, she is brave, strong, weak, smart, clueless, loyal, stubborn, hardworking, a princess and a warrior... Meira is a complete character and it's her that made me like the book more than I would have.

If you want a quick read with a strong character then this is a book you should read."


My favorite character was Meira, as you can clearly see. Between Mather and Theron? Definitely Theron, but not because I don't like Mather.

I think circumstances just made it difficult for a Meira/Mather relationship to work out. I like them as best friends, but with Theron there's a real opportunity and foundation for a great relationship. Theron sees Meira as an equal and I think he even admires her. They both play to each others strengths, they help each other be better and stronger.

This was 'meh' for me. I don't think you're missing much if you don't read it, and you won't hate yourself if you do. I liked Meira, an interesting if not incredibly developed character, and I felt as though the events were a little rushed. I probably won't read the sequels.

I agree with your thoughts on Theron.

I eventually got into it, and was surprised that I ended up liking Theron and Meira quite a bit. Overall, the book was okay, but not outstanding

Incredible! My favorite character was probably Theron. Icannot wait for the next book!

I've been trying to read it but I just can't push pass the first 40 pages.
But I'll try.

I agree with your thoughts on the relationship between Theron and Meira. Their dynamic was just fun and interesting to read about. I can't wait for the second one to see how their relationship plays out.
Plus, I'm curious to see how Meira handles everything that was thrown at her at the end of the novel. Her life has done a 180 and I'm excited to see how this effects her as a person.

This was just a 'meh' for me. I liked the idea of the story, and the world. I really am not a fan of Meira though at all, so that's obviously a problem since she's the main character. It was just a little too predictable for me though. I'll read the next book if it's a BOTM, but otherwise I'm probably done with the series. Unless it becomes one of those series where it switches POV, but I highly doubt that.

I agree. It was okay, but it left a bit more to be desired. I do like Meira, though. She knows how to fend for herself, and not just with incredibly dumb luck. Although the rest of the characters weren't fleshed out very well, so I didn't get much of a grasp on them.

Hmmm is this series good? Should i give it a try?

If you like Fantasy I would definitely read it. I really enjoyed this book!

This book is so so so so so so so amazing!

I liked it too.

Who was your favorite character?

THERON

He's an awesome character!

Is this series good ? I seen it on Instagram a few times but never got around to reading it ?

I just read book 1 so far and I gave it 3 stars.Theron is my favorite character.However I heard that book 2 was from both Meira and Mal's POV?????I am a bit unsettled about that though. But its a good read that I would recommend if you like fantasy withe the good old love triangle.

Thanks ! Is the love triangle with one boy and two girls or the other way around ?

The other way around. Have you read Throne of Glass??? One of my favorite series...

been a while but I've read Snow Like Ashes. Don't remember a love triangle. The ending caught me way off guard. Book 2 is on my to-read list.

Yeah, I don't think you can call Meira and Mather as like part of a love triangle...

Have you read book 2????
