The electric second book in the Heart of Thorns trilogy explores the effects of power in a dark magical kingdom—and the fierce courage it takes to claim your body as your own.
Mia Rose is back from the dead. Her memories are hazy, her body numb—but she won’t stop searching. Her only hope to save the boy she loves and the sister who destroyed her is to find the mother she can never forgive. Pilar is on a hunt of her own. Betrayed by her mother, and plagued by a painful secret, she’s determined to seek out the only person who can exact revenge. All goes according to plan… until she collides with Prince Quin, the boy whose sister she killed.
As Mia, Pilar, and Quin forge dangerous new alliances, they are bewitched by the snow kingdom’s promise of freedom and opportunity. But with the winter solstice drawing near, they must confront the truth beneath the glimmering ice, as lines between friend, foe, and lover vanish like snowflakes on a flame.

This is such a magnificent story that hits on so many of the things that I love best in a book. It is utterly unique and heartbreaking and fresh. The story pulls you in and mesmerizes you.
I think that what I love most about this book is all the unspoken and underlying parallels to women's empowerment that are present in the story. The delicate issues that are touched upon are truly done so with grace through the pages of this book.
The characters really glow in this story. The intense writing really makes the reader connect with the characters. These characters have a lot of depth and don't just feel like names on a page. The author lets the readers truly experience what these characters go through and feel.
Overall, this is a truly unique story with fantastic characters and an imaginative premise. This is the kind of story that will stay with you long after you have turned the last page. I am excited for the third book in this series. This is an author that is now on my watch list for great things to come.
