A review by sydtalksbooks
Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst

2.0

sigh. i’m so annoyed and there are so many things i could write about but after spending most of my saturday reading this book i’m just!!! the plot was weak. the final battle made no sense and lasted i think maybe a page if that. it should have been either denna or the queen to deal the final blow to zhari. zhari and the queen didn’t even fight!! they’re supposed to be the most powerful people in the kingdom and zhari did all of this to destroy the queen and they didn’t even fight!! instead mare takes her out by sneaking behind her and stabbing her in the back?? in literally!!! maybe a page of fighting!! there are so many other things that either didn’t make sense or annoyed me (i could not stand mare this entire book) but i am simply exhausted.
