Oh, hey! What a coincidence - I apparently managed to snag a copy of this book at the library the other day...It's pretty good so far. Pretty good meaning, it's keeping my interest, but not enough to actually start fangirling. o_o

Okay, I'm almost there. Theron's been mentioned, but he hasn't made an appearance yet.
I've read this before & I loved it!
I read this a few months ago and I loved it - which really surprised me as I'm not usually much of a fantasy fun. But it was awesome!
I really, DESPERATELY want to read this!
I really enjoyed this book and cannot wait for the second one. I also am going to go to Book People in Austin, Texas in April to get a signed copy from Sara Raasch! Woot!

YAY! Exciting! I met her when the book came out and got my copy signed! She was very nice and it was interesting to learn how she came up with the idea and had it for most of her life and just developed it over time.
I just stumbled across this group and it just so happened that you are currently reading my two favorite books right now!!! Snow Like Ashes is amazing, and I can't wait for Ice Like Fire!
That plot twist really got me, I didn't see it coming at all. I really found the characters interesting and the book wasn't hard to read. It kept me wanting to turn the pages. I love Meira, her drive help save her kingdom. I love fantasy with a strong female warrior-type character. Though I did find she was a little whiny.(I probably would be too) This triangle makes me really feel for Theron. He is so sweet, but Mather and Meira belong together. They are Winter. 5/5 for me.
Although I liked the book, I'm not going to read any more of this series. It started off a little weak but quickly gained momentum when Meira started to prove herself. The last third of the book completely turned me off though. She became so annoying. I couldn't even read it anymore. I was skipping page after page after page.

Finished it a few days ago and REALLY enjoyed it. Can't wait for the sequel to come out! ^_^By the way... I like Theron AND Mather. Isn't that a rarity. o-o

I actually felt the same way, even though I loved it. Not a complete fangirl, sadly. I haven't actually checked the premise for the sequel though...

I might be a little partial to Mather. A LITTLE.
By the way, has anyone noticed Meira sounds almost like "mirror?"
Mather was more interesting than Theron,I think.And Meira was alright character, but isn't my favourite..But the ida of this book was best.
A heartbroken girl. A fierce warrior. A hero in the making.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Training to be a warrior—and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather — she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own.
