Summary of the Book:
Meet Tama, an adept winter mage of Khione, a beautiful, dangerous land. Bloodthirsty monsters roam the frozen wilderness, and the unforgiving elements are a constant. Tama and her friends—Kachina and Masou—are on the cusp of completing their education at the temple where they have trained for the past four years. They need only to do one more thing: earn the Goddess Tira’s final anointing. But to do that, they must fight through hordes of corrupted creatures and endure the perplexing obstacles within Mount Orodani.
The road before them is long and bloody, and Tira’s evil sister, Malsumi, won’t stop sending her minions until she is strong enough to break free of her prison. Tama fights valiantly to defend herself and her people from these twisted monsters. But she will soon discover the real threat is much closer than she initially thought…
My Personal Review: I received a copy of this book for a fair and honest review. This book was a little all over the place for me. The opening of the book was amazing, but I did not find myself getting attached to the characters like I thought I would. They seemed that they needed to be polished up a little more. I loved the storyline and the adventure they were going on. Tama would hurt or destory friendships and she did not have to fight to get that back. She did things without thinking how it could hurt those around her. That kind of made me dislike her. That is not something the heroine should be doing to those closest to her.
My Rating of the Book: 3 Stars
