What this book is about
Sara Raasch's first Snow Like Ashes novel follows Meira, a refugee of the fallen kingdom of Winter, as she and her fellow refugees attempt to reclaim Winter's magical conduit from the evil kingdom of Spring. The novel is YA fantasy in the mode of Tamora Pierce — adventure-forward, with a driven female protagonist and a world of kingdoms with elemental powers. Violence is present in the battle and flight sequences; appropriate for older YA readers.
