Snow Like Ashes is about Meira who is one of the few free surviving Winterians after their kingdom and magic was destroyed by an opposing kingdom. When word about half of the conduit to bring back their magic is heard she runs headfirst into a world of politics.
 
Nothing about this story is bad but it didn't fully grip me. It felt like it was trying to find its footing and wasn't sure what kind of story it wanted to be in actually. Meira is okay as an MC but I preferred the side characters over her. Probably not going to read more in this series but it was perfectly fine. 3/5
