February 2020 RereadI love these books so muuuuuuch. They speak to things in my Soul, guys. đŸ’™Original February 2019 ReviewY'all, I am falling pretty hard. This may not bode well.A wonderful second adventure for Maerad and Cadvan as they now search for the Tree Song. A story filled with danger, thrills, death, magic and love. There are many difficulties for Maerad to overcome and she faces loss, despair, confusion and has to do some deep soul searching to keep herself alive. I can't wait to find out what happens next. A great read and wonderful series.
"The Riddle"Maerad had been on a quest to find something called the Treesong which had relations to the Splitsong. On a search to find part of the Song Maerad had to venture to Murask with Cadvan.

Maerad however started to play a small song on her reed flute which made her ancestor, Ardina, appear and save her from the icy hand of death. Once in Murask, Maerad

That awkward moment when you thought the main character was falling in love with the man you were hoping for. Oh, and let's not forget he's 21 years older than her. But, at least he's not an asshole! But guess what? SHE FALLS IN LOVE WITH AN ASSHOLE. Oh, and he's a king. But, not just any king. He's the king of winter. <--(Of course, no wonder he's such a jackass. The cold must've chapped his ass over the years.)
I'll be the first to admit that I possibly read this book... too fast.But a third of the way through, it hit me right in my Cadvan-loving heart, and the back of the book promised there would be a "seductive Winterking," so what's a girl to do?This was another utter delight. A lot of people compare it to LotR, but to me the only real similarity is that there's this feeling of vast, infinite lore. This is an expansive, complex world and I could spend ages and ages learning about it and its
