On the negative side, it's very formulaic and predictable, and I didn't ever feel like I cared about the characters, who didn't seem real. On the positive side, after the very boring first 100 pages, the story got more entertaining. And, even though it's a lot of pages, they have very few words on each, so it's a quick read. A beautiful YA Fantasy story, with kingdoms and magic and fights and endless action, in between which, there are small moments of tranquility and romance. I want to mention that the main villain reminds me of Hitler, as his ethos and his torturing methods are disturbingly similar. Also **SPOILERS AHEAD** the concentration camps where the Winter people were held gave me strong vibes of the torturing the Jewish people went through in the second world war I want to also say I'm a strong Meira x Theron shipper, I can't wait to see if their relationship will grow in the sequels. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

It's been three months since the Winterians were freed and Spring's king, Angra, disappeared--thanks to the help of Cordell. When the king of Cordell orders Meira and Theron on a mission to discover the chasm's secrets, Meira plans on using the trip to garner support to keep the chasm shut and Winter safe--even if it means clashing with Theron. Mather just wants to be free. The horrors inflicted on the Winterians hang fresh and raw in Jannuari--leaving Winter vulnerable to Cordell's growing oppression. When Meira leaves to search for allies, Mather decides to take Winter's security into his own hands. Can he rebuild his broken Kingdom and protect his people from new threats? As the web of power and deception is woven tighter, Theron fights for magic, Mather fights for freedom--and Meira starts to wonder if she should be fighting not just for Winter but for the world. Hace tres meses que los inverneños fueron liberados y que el rey de Primavera, Angra, desapareció, en gran parte gracias a la ayuda de Cordell. Meira solo quiere que su pueblo esté a salvo. Cuando su deuda con Cordell obliga a los inverneños a excavar en sus minas para pagarles, hacen un descubrimiento asombroso y quizá peligroso: el barranco mágico perdido de Primoria. Theron se llena de entusiasmo y esperanza: con toda esa magia, el mundo al fin podrá defenderse de amenazas como Angra. Pero Meira sabe que la última vez que el mundo tuvo acceso a tanta magia nació la Decadencia. Por eso, cuando el rey de Cordell ordena a ambos que partan en una misión por los reinos de Primoria para develar los secretos del barranco, Meira se propone aprovechar el viaje para conseguir apoyo para mantener cerrado el barranco y a salvo a Invierno... aunque Theron tenga otros planes. Pero ¿podrá hacerlo sin poner en peligro a quienes ama? Mather solo quiere ser libre. Los horrores sufridos por los inverneños son una herida abierta para los moradores de Jannuari, lo cual hace que el reino sea vulnerable a la creciente opresión de Cordell. Cuando Meira parte en busca de aliados, Mather decide tomar en sus manos la seguridad de Invierno. ¿Podrá reconstruir su reino destrozado y proteger a sus habitantes de nuevas amenazas? Mientras la trama de poder y engaños se va haciendo más densa, Theron lucha por la magia; Mather, por la libertad... y Meira empieza a preguntarse si debería pelear no solo por Invierno sino también por el mundo entero.

The plot twist was so obvious I hope it wasn't meant to be a plot twist. Heroine being self-centred then supposedly learning from mistakes and ops does another self-centred thing again. Insta love, but let's be honest, the guy is so perfect he almost convinced me to continue the series, so I don't blame her. Luckily the end closed this part of the story, so I don't feel any need to continue.
Redeeming points:
Theron aka the perfect YA love interest
Season based kingdoms turned out to be quite interesting, unfortunately I am not sure how it really works, like there is really no explanation how they produce any food in places where there is one season all the time. ( )
