Ice Like Fire

Let's get into it..
First of all, Ice Like Fire is an epic sequel to the thrilling Snow Like Ashes and has a gradual and lovely buildup in what is truly going on in this fantasy world Sara Raasch has created.
Meira, our main character, starts the book with completely different thoughts of what everything can and could be and throughout the books keeps having to change her theories and people who she can trust.
Mather, with his lovely pov's, is still in Winter and from the moment Cordell didn't allow the winterians to train I knew it was fishy. I understood Sir, but Cordell being such asses about it was a hot warning. I am so glad he shows up in the end, because he and his soldiers needed a damn change after all that training in Winter.
Theron, prince of Cordell, is an absolute fantastic guy or so it seems. I loved him in the first book, but from the beginning Theron changes. His goals are somehow the same, but he feels like a totally different and after that ending I completely understand why goddamn. How didn't I see it before? I honestly feel a lot like Meira, cause I too had brushed it off, but looking back on it. He is acting different. He is being weird and being rude to Meira, whereas in book 1 he was kind and willing (but now I'm not even sure if he was himself in book 1?! It seems so atleast).

I truly am not the person to love politics in books (even though is is super interesting and makes a fantasy world so much more convincing and real) and it took me a while to get through the parts of the book where it was all about being formal and being a true queen, but it was truly worth it in the end. I mean the last hundred paged suddenly flew by! I had a feeling the book was building up too // something // , but still I was surprised and in the best way possible. I was gasping, gritting my treeth, wanting to find out what had been truly going on in this book while Meira was still figuring it out.

I cannot wait to see how it all plays out in the last book, because there are fights to be foughts, questions to be answered and a country (well, more than one now) to be properly restored.
