Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst

3.0

I’m not exactly sure what about this book didn’t work for me, but I just didn’t enjoy it as much as the first one. I read that book all in one day, but it took me almost a week to slowly make my way through this one. The plot was more interesting, but I think the pacing was a bit off and the way the red herrings were added in made things feel a bit disjointed and confusing. In the end, the big climax seemed to go really quickly and not be a good payoff for the build up of the rest of the book. I also didn’t love the romance as much in this book, probably in part due to their distance, but also their attitudes towards each other. I am glad I ended up reading this duology, but i’m not sure I would recommend it.
