I know that I'm a day early, but this was such a good book it's worth it. PLUS I wanted to give ya'll a head's up, because the author is coming to Central! So if you liked the book, you'll definitely want to come on 4/6 @ 7 pm. Okay, enough fangirling, on to the review.
I read Snow Like Ashes when I was in the middle of my YA Fantasy kick, and absolutely fell in love with it. The world that Raasch set up is vivid and interesting; she hit just the right tone of creating a new world that is still relatable. You really feel for all the characters, not just the main character, something that is not always easy to do when you are writing in first person POV.
There is a plot twist that you might see coming. But then again maybe you won't. I don't know, because I'm one of those cheater readers who goes to the back of the book first. I know, I know, I shouldn't. But hey, if it has an awful ending I do not want to read it...I have so little time to read now that I'm a librarian! Tragically ironic, but so true. Aaaanywaaays, this first book in the trilogy definitely leaves you wanting to read more. And luckily for you, not only are all three books now published; Prince William Public Library System owns all of them! So put them on hold before you read Snow Like Ashes, because chances are you'll want to binge read.
With magic, fantasy, mystery, adventure, and of course romance, Snow Like Ashes offers something for everyone. So grab a copy, and come to Central next week to meet the author herself! :)
