This book is an excellent representation of accepting the love we think we deserve. Wren loves her sister more than anything, enough to go in her place when her twin is chosen as the bride for the North Wind/Frost King, a cold and unforgiving God responsible for the death of the realm and a 300+ year long winter that threatens everything Wren holds dear. While Wren’s sister is kind and beautiful, Wren has a facial scar, suffers from alcoholism, and is “too brash, too headstrong.” She tricks the god into marrying her instead, and seeks to reverse his hold on winter. While she is moved to the land of the dead, with the Frost King’s power weakening and an increase of Darkwalkers, shadow-demon like creatures, Wren has no idea who she can trust. If she wants to protect her sister and her village, she may just have to figure out how to kill a god

Gives me Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones meets Olympus vibes. If you liked Rhapsodic by Laura Thalissa, you'll probably like this. I'm also reading A Court of Thorns and Roses, and the books appear to start similarly.
