Winterglass is a sci-fantasy about one woman’s love for her homeland (Sirapirat) and her determination to defeat the Winter Queen who has overtaken the land. The city-state Sirapirat once knew only warmth and monsoon. When the Winter Queen conquered it, she remade the land in her image, turning Sirapirat into a country of snow and unending frost. But an empire is not her only goal. In secret, she seeks the fragments of a mirror whose power will grant her deepest desire. At her right hand is General Lussadh, who bears a mirror shard in her heart, as loyal to winter as she is plagued by her past as a traitor to her country. Tasked with locating other glass-bearers, she finds one in Nuawa, an insurgent who’s forged herself into a weapon that will strike down the queen. To earn her place in the queen’s army, Nuawa must enter a deadly tournament where the losers’ souls are given in service to winter. To free Sirapirat, she is prepared to make sacrifices: those she loves, herself, and the complicated bond slowly forming between her and Lussadh. If the splinter of glass in Nuawa's heart doesn't destroy her first.

The beginning of this #sciencefantasy Snow Queen #retelling is all sharp edges—the words, the emotions, the blades. I love the way this author uses language, the flair with which she chooses words and constructs her sentences, and her raw, nonjudgmental approach to the characters. Those aren't necessarily good people, but man, are they fun to watch.

4.0/5

This is a story about living under colonization, about the slow self-annihilation necessary to live to fight another day. Full review here: https://tinyurl.com/vw9jeve
