If I hadn't already read half a dozen books like this, I may like it more. As it is, I'm irritated by Meira, our heroine. She wants desperately to help her kingdom of Winter, but now that she had her assignment, she's full of self-pity, with lots of whining and temper tantrums because it's not what she wants to do. I want to say, "Suck it up, butter cup."

okay, a thought...supposedly it is always spring, summer, autumn, or winter in these 4 kingdoms. Autumn is described as having colorful, crunchy leaves on the ground. How can this be when no new leaves are ever made on the trees?
