Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch

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.
