"That's how relationships work - when one person is blind, the other must see for them. When one person struggles, the other must remain strong." 
 This book was allright. I liked Mather's new POV, I liked the new characters: The Thaw, Ceridwen. 
 I loved seeing more of the other Kingdoms too! 
 But that's also my problem: I feel like this book gave me more information about the world, a little more dept to all the problems in this world, but.. like where was the plot in this? 
 They go find keys for the magic chasm, and it takes them 478 pages, in which nothing else that is super important happens. ((view spoiler)[ and in the end it feels like Meira didn't even need the keys, since Rares goes to find her to take her with him to the Order? I think the keys were only some sort of tests... which could've been done way cooler that "looking for them in some kingdoms", but then again that is just my preference I guess (hide spoiler)]). 
 Meira was rather boring for most part, because she was so indicive about who she wanted to be: Soldier-Meira or Queen-Meira. She was more queen than soldier, sadly. I liked her soldier self, fighting and being brave. She does go back to that self near the end, though. In the end the action sort of exploded and I had been waiting for that for so long! :) 
 This book probably suffered form Middle-Book syndrome. I've heard good things about Frost Like Night, so hopefully I'll enjoy that one as much as Snow Like Ashes again!
