Meltdown over. The second instalment of Snow Like Ashes series focuses on rebuilding and healing Winter after they regained their freedom from Spring. Meira learns to navigate the world of politics, intrigues and lies. She's torn apart between to being the wild orphan soldier girl who saved Winter to being the cautious Queen of Winter who must be thoughtful of her actions because her people depends on her. Aside from dealing with issues on identity, Meira also deals with another threat to Winter's newly acquired and fragile freedom. This book has a more mature tone to it. It shows the after effects of war and slavery. The Winterians try their best to heal, some opt to ignore the hurt and the past while others try to face it.

" We're all-he paused, rotating the snowflake-wildfower carving to show the script on the back-"the Children of the Thaw. Our own hybrid of the past and future. " - Mather
