Lord of Snow and Shadows by Sarah Ash

2.0

My husband has been begging me to read this book for months and I finally gave in. It wasn't terrible. It has an interesting premise, blending the ideas of Dracula and dragons, and setting it within a Russian-style culture as opposed to the traditional European fantasy. However, some elements felt a little too modern for this type of fantasy (such as the use of "carbines"). And overall the story just felt about as cold as the landscape where most of it takes place - I didn't really feel invested in the plot or the characters.
