Frostfire by Jamie Smith
5.0
"Live well, little ash-cat."
I seriously adored reading this book. I have a soft spot for adventurous, brave, yet sensitive young girls as main characters; Sabira is all of these things and more. The curious magic of frostslivers was refreshingly unique, as was the way Smith used them to drive and twist the narrative forward.
What I loved most about this book was its underlying messages of peace and togetherness. Sabira's compassion for her antagonists makes her an unusual hero. She wants to protect her people, of course -- but she also seeks to listen, understand, and then act. In a world where walls, both physical and figurative, are being built between people, a story like "Frostfire" is much needed to inspire hope.
