Summary of Book:

“Meira will do anything to save her world from the threat of Angra’s Decay. So when the leader of a mysterious order from Paisly offers to teach her how to master her magic, Meira jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the magic she’s learning to control–and make the biggest sacrifice of all.

Mather will do anything to save his queen. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and betrayal within his team’s ranks, winning the war–and protecting Meira–slips farther and farther out of reach.

Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she’s freed by an unexpected ally, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.

As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together . . . or lose everything” -Balzer + Bray

Author Biography:

“Sara Raasch has known she was destined for bookish things since the age of five, when her friends had a lemonade stand and she tagged along to sell her hand-drawn picture books too. Not much has changed since then: her friends still cock concerned eyebrows when she attempts to draw things, and her enthusiasm for the written word still drives her to extreme measures. She is also the New York Times bestselling author of Snow Like Ashes and Ice Like Fire. You can visit her online at http://www.sararaasch.tumblr.com and on Twitter at @seesarawrite” -Balzer + Bray

Book Review:

Overall Book Rating: ★★★★★ / ★★★★★

Frost Like Night did not fail in finalizing the fate of the Winterians. This novel brought the Snow Like Ashes series to an end in a satisfying way. I let out a long sight of relief at the finale. There was a heart-breaking moment in the novel that moved me to near-tears, but I had to hold myself together.

I was nervous throughout the entire time. Like many times I read, I could not help but wonder, “who will the author kill off?” That constant anxiety kept me reading more. I will not reveal any details about whether Raasch did so or not. I will let you figure that out on your own. Just note, that like the previous two novels, the author does an amazing job!

In all, this entire series was amazing, and I cannot wait to read more of Raasch future works. I know she has another novel out, The Rebel Waves, so I will have to check that one out as well. I extremely enjoyed Raasch writing and the way she captivated my attention with her Snow Like Ashes series.

Audible Review:

Narration Rating: ★★★★★ / ★★★★★

Narration by Kate Rudd, Nick Podehl, and Eileen Stevens

Rudd and Podehl returns to narrate the final part of this series and does an excellent job. They are joined by a third narrator, Eileen Stevens, and this change in narration from the first and second novels  gives the listening experience a fresh flavor each time. I extremely enjoyed listening to the entire series. For those of us who like to multitask and listen on the go, I recommend listening at a 1.5 speed, so one does not miss anything. For those who are listening while reading the book, I found 2.0 and 2.5 speed to be the best speeds. 3.0 was too fast for me, and I was missing a lot of what the narrator was saying and had to eventually slow down the narrator’s reading speed.
