phoenix2's review against another edition
3.0
The key point of this book is the strong protagonist. I do love when the main hero escapes the "oh, I won't to marry the prince who'll save the kingdom" and becomes the character that has a purpose. The love triangle, though, was a little weak. I mean, I get it that she was in love with the king since they grew up together, but when did she develop genuine feelings for the prince? Not to mention that the whole marriage arrangement were a little out of the blue and the girl just went with it while hating Sir for setting her up. Other than those two weak spots, the story was interesting, and the whole four kingdoms and four rhythms was unique and a clever idea. Plus, it didn't confuse too much. The Winter camps were the strongest point of this book for me, as the whole horror and mightiness of the situation boiled up to that. So, in conclusion, I liked this book, though it wasn't one of those who made me want to keep reading nonstop.

My first book in English!
I really really loved it! I really enjoyed reading it! I really liked the story, the world, the magic, and also characters were great, I mean protagonists, because antagonists were awful af! I especially liked the trio Meira, Theron and Mather ♡ The writing was great as well.
The book can totaly be as a stand-alone. I give it 4,5/5 ★ because of some violent details, that I hate observing in general. Nevertheless, this book is going to be in my top favourites! ♡♡♡

Oh, I really wanted to enjoy this one. I really wanted to like it more than I did, but sadly, I didn't. I just couldn't get into it. Nonetheless, I did enjoy the world that Raasch created; a very unique concept on seasons and magic.

I was just bored with this book. There was plenty of action but I didn't care because I didn't care about the characters.

Very fast paced, focused on the main character. First part of a series so works well as an opener where you can get attached to the characters as you read the series

If you like a strong female protagonist, you will like Meira. One of my first fantasy novels, and I LOVED it!
