The House of Frost and Feathers by Lauren Wiesebron
4.75
Thank you HarperAudio for the free audiobook! I really enjoyed Daphne Kouma's narration.
If you're looking for something that is action packed and fast-paced, this is not that. If you're looking for something that is atmospheric, where the setting is a character, with cozy folkloric vibes, and found family, this is the story for you.
The plot is slow to unfold, the sleeping curse took both of Marisha's parents and now she has to either find a job or let her aunt marry her off to a creepy man. And the job market in this world is somehow worse than the one we're in now. So Marisha makes the obvious choice and joins on as the sorceress's apprentice's assistant. Only one problem, the apprentice hates her.
Marisha and Olena learning to work together and care about one another was the novel's strength. It's weakness was the various romantic plotlines, which felt like they were shoehorned in. Even then, it was such a minor part of the story that I could easily overlook them and just be swept away in the atmosphere and magic of the world.
