Game of Thrones meets Graceling in this action-packed fantasy—the highly anticipated final book in the New York Times bestselling Snow Like Ashes series by Sara Raasch. Perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and A Court of Thorns and Roses. Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading—and no one is safe. Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic—so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, 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 very magic she’s learning to control—and make the biggest sacrifice of all. Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira—and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their 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 who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer’s slave trade, 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.

This book was an awesome ending to a fantastic series.
For a fantasy series the ending was quite bold, taking away the magic instead of fixing the problem of the book. In this case I would say it would be pretty impossible to actually get rid of The Decay and I truly did like this ending for the world of Snow Like Ashes! It gives all of them a fresh start. It gives all of the kingdoms a startover where they can focus on the actual wellbeing of their country instead of blasting magic on people in the way the monarchs want.
I actually don't have much more to say, but I've grown attached to Meira and Ceridwen and I actually started to like Mather, even tho he still isn't my favorite.
This is an absolutely PERFECT end to what is now my favorite trilogy! There were some incredibly sad deaths but all in all, they did it! I'm so glad this war has a happy ending and I definitely recommend this series to anyone who loves fantasy!
Feels like this entire series went downhill with each installment to hit a bland and predictable conclusion in the end. Nope, just nope.
