Publisher's summary

Game of Thrones meets Graceling in this shocking and action-packed fantasy - the highly anticipated final book in the New York Times best-selling Snow Like Ashes series.

Angra is alive, his Decay is spreading - and no one is safe.

Meira will do anything to save her world. With Angra trying to break through her mental defenses, she desperately needs to learn to control her own magic - so when the leader of a mysterious Order from Paisly offers to teach her, Meira jumps at the chance. But the true solution to stopping the Decay lies in a labyrinth deep beneath the Season Kingdoms. To defeat Angra, Meira will have to enter the labyrinth, destroy the very magic she's learning to control - and make the biggest sacrifice of all.

Mather will do anything to save his queen. He needs to rally the Children of the Thaw, find Meira, and finally tell her how he really feels. But with a plan of attack that leaves no kingdom unscathed and a major betrayal within their ranks, winning the war and protecting Meira slip further and further out of reach.

Ceridwen will do anything to save her people. Angra had her brother killed, stole her kingdom, and made her a prisoner. But when she's freed by an unexpected ally who reveals a shocking truth behind Summer's slave trade, Ceridwen must take action to save her true love and her kingdom, even if it costs her what little she has left.

As Angra unleashes the Decay on the world, Meira, Mather, and Ceridwen must bring the kingdoms of Primoria together...or lose everything.

Good not great

I enjoyed this series. I liked how she tied up the loose ends. But I found myself having to relisten to parts because it wasn't keeping my attention.

Excellent series with epic ending!

Entertaining with a few surprises. It keeps you reading even tho you know how it’s going to end (and you are glad for that!) but how the adventure unfolds captures your imagination. The characters are especially engrossing and well developed.

Expertly narrated by Kate Rudd and Nick Podehl.

Good conclusion to the series...

This is the third and final book in the Frost Like Night series. I enjoyed it but not as much as the first two books in the series. There wasn’t a lot here that I found surprising and the majority of the book is focused on the coming (and final) war between Angra and the other Kingdoms. I am not a huge fan of “war” books in general.

I listened to this on audiobook and it was okay. I liked that the three different viewpoints (Mather, Meira, and Ceridwen) are done by different narrators. However, most of the book was from Meira’s POV and I thought her narrator was a bit annoying to listen to; she was just a little too desperate and dramatic sounding about everything.

The book itself is fairly predictable, but I enjoyed the journey. I do like that Meira was smart and decided to take time off to train in her abilities (rather than instantly learn how to use them). Although the fact that Meira masters both her emotional issues and her magic abilities in a week is pretty unbelievable.

We hear quite a bit from Ceridwen in this book as well. I enjoyed her as a character and thought she counterbalanced Mather and Meira’s stories nicely.

I continued to be impressed by the world-building here; this world blew me away in the first book and the impact is less now that we are familiar with this world but it is still av ery creative world that I enjoyed reading about. I am not going to say much about the whole Mather, Theron, Meira thing because of spoilers.

Again, I don’t know if it was the narration or what but everything in this book was just a bit too dramatic for me. There are lots of speeches by the characters and you get to listen to them angst over everything that is happening over and over again. This was probably what annoyed me the most about this book.

Overall this was a good conclusion to the series. Things are wrapped up nicely and readers should be happy with how everything ties up. I do think it got a bit wordy and overly dramatic at times; there are a lot of speeches and long ramblings by characters on their thoughts and feelings about things that didn’t need to be there. I would recommend this series to fantasy fans; the first two books in the series were spectacular and this one (while not as good) did a good job of wrapping things up.

Great Ending to a Strong YA Fantasy Trilogy

The narration/performance is excellent, so once I listened to one, I had to listen to the whole trilogy:

The ending is so fantastic and satisfying that my initial impulse was to give this book a 5. Wow. That's the way to successfully wrap up a fantasy trilogy.

I have settled at a 4, just because there were some things in the first half that weren't quite as smooth for me. Overall, this is an excellent YA fantasy series, set in a fascinating and creative world, with plenty of dark magic to suit my dark side, and enough hope to please my often hidden light side.

It's a definite win, and I confess part of my confusion at the start might have been due to the gap of time from when I read the first two books. If you have time for a reread, I think that would be ideal. If not, definitely read a good summary or synopsis of the first two books before diving in, because it's a complex world with a lot of characters.

Good, but a teenage angst feel

Narrator was fine. The story was good but I felt like it was Moore approriate for a younger crowd.

After the first book, I did not realize how much this world affected me. I had to get the second and third book Immediately. I truly enjoyed this world.

A beautiful and wonderful ending to the series!!

AMAZING fantasy trilogy and was beautifully narrated (but I did not care for Ceridwen's narrator). Despite all of the loss and chaos that a war brings, happiness endured. Super impressed with the world and character building along with the unique twists and turns in the plot. Loved the use of magic in this trilogy. Out of the three, the first book was the best anf my favorite, but every book brought such vivid color and detail that it was hard to feel unattached to the story. I am so sad that I will not be reading about these characters any longer. Well done Sara Raasch.

Worth the read

Interesting world dynamic. Realistic political games, with the fantasy necessity of magic. Enough sorrow and loss of characters for realistic storylines, with out the unneeded destruction of endless main characters like so many other series like it.
