3.5 stars! 
 I don't think this book lived up to Snow Like Ashes but it was an okay follow up. I'm slightly disappointed but still eagerly awaiting the next one! (the last one?) 
 I LOVED the first book, liked this one so I guess it's up to the third book to see if the series is overall a great one. 
 Meira was still very strong but why did she annoy me? she was struggling with her decisions and I think her inner struggle was a big problem. I was so used to Book 1 Meira, who was fierce and had no problem doing what needed to be done. 
 Theron and Mather, I'm very confused as to how I feel about them. I still like Theron but goodness, some parts made me want to slap him. Mather, what role did he actually have? I just felt pretty pretty bad for him. now that I think about it, I don't think his POV were necessary. not that I didn't like them, I did. poor boy was a mess after book one! 
 I don't know, I think I'm just a big mess after this read haha
