A review by dlberglund
Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst

3.0

Mare and Denna are back, traveling to another kingdom for both political and personal reasons. Mare is hoping to make an alliance to save her kingdom from hostile attacks; Denna is hoping to find someone to help her get her magic under control. Though there's a lot of complications, including unique modes of travel and battles with both swords and spells, the pacing still somehow feels sloooow. I'm still happy to have the pair out there in literature, but the books still need a little more polish.
