Summary/
product description:
“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.”
My Review: Frost Like Night is the final book in the
Snow Like Ashes trilogy. If you have not read Snow Like Ashes, I recommend it
to those who enjoyed Frozen, Game of Thrones and books like: Incarnate and The
Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows, Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi, Crewel by Gennifer
Albin, The Jewel by Amy Ewing, Defiance by C.J. Redwine, The Young Elites by
Marie Lu and the Red Queen by Victoria Avyard.
Meira is the
queen and conduit of the Winter kingdom. She’s trying to find away to stop
Angra, the evil ruler of Spring who use the magic of the Decay. Meira is
brought to Paisley, the kingdom hidden in the mountains of the north. Rares and
his wife offer to train Meira in using her magic. Meira soon discovers that the
only way to defeat Angra might not end in a happy ending for. She might have to
sacrifice everything to save her kingdom and the rest of Primoria from Angra
and this war. With Mather by her side, she feels she can do anything.
Mather would do
anything to save Meira from the fate she plans to accept. He really does want
to spend his life with her and can’t imagine living without her. Ceridwen is
now the monarch of Summer, but cannot use her kingdom conduit because it is
male-blooded. She’s trying to save her own people and create new allies. She
also wants a relationship with Jesse, but he must first break his relationship
with Raelyn, his current wife who’s now under Angra’s influence.
This epic
finale is filled with magic and adventure and even all the romance we were
hoping for. I will say that I did not enjoy this book as much as the previous
book. I’m not a fan of 3rd person POV and I would have preferred only
to have Meira 1st person POV or have 1st person
perspective of Mather and Ceridwen. Also I was so busy with school, that it
takes a long time to finish a book. I did enjoy this series overall and hope to
find more unique fantasy series like this one. I’m very happen to see how this
series has come so far and to a satisfying ending. I can’t wait to see what
other stories Sara Raasch cooks up.

Review: I love these cover so much! They are consistent and beautiful. The
chakram with the seasons in it is so cool.
