Frost Like Night (Snow Like Ashes, 3) de Sara Raasch
illogico, inverosimile
Unfortunately, this is just another young adult. Nothing bad with YA as such, but unfortunately it is breeding ground for generic bland fantasy books that don't go much beyond checking off the required content.
Chosen not-like-the-other-girls heroine - check
Succeeding where other failed because she is the MC - check
Love triangle - check
The plot twist was so obvious I hope it wasn't meant to be a plot twist. Heroine being self-centred then supposedly learning from mistakes and ops does another self-centred thing again. Insta love, but let's be honest, the guy is so perfect he almost convinced me to continue the series, so I don't blame her. Luckily the end closed this part of the story, so I don't feel any need to continue.
Redeeming points:
Theron aka the perfect YA love interest
Season based kingdoms turned out to be quite interesting, unfortunately I am not sure how it really works, like there is really no explanation how they produce any food in places where there is one season all the time.… (mais)

Decent story concept but not a compelling read. Its slow-moving pace and clumsy romance scenes are just a few of the issues that suggest inexperienced writers. Like so much of what is being published these days, the absence of a knowledgeable, professional editor is glaring.
On the negative side, it's very formulaic and predictable, and I didn't ever feel like I cared about the characters, who didn't seem real.
On the positive side, after the very boring first 100 pages, the story got more entertaining. And, even though it's a lot of pages, they have very few words on each, so it's a quick read.
