Her writing was easy to follow with just the right amount of descriptiveness. The writing was very detailed-orientated and clear. It’s a beautiful fantasy world and I’m so glad we got to explore it with Ekata.

The detail and care that went into Kylma Below and Kylma Above was stunning. It was more politically focused than most fantasies, with a lot of political babble, but I enjoyed it. The story was fresh and exciting and I loved all of the twists and turns. Goodreads | Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Loot | iTunes | Book Depository | Kobo | Google Books Review StoryĪnything that’s even slightly inspired by Anastasia immediately makes me want to read it. Part Sleeping Beauty, part Anastasia, with a thrilling political mystery, The WinterDuke is a spellbinding story about choosing what’s right in the face of danger. And if Ekata is to survive, she must quickly decide how she will wield it. If Kylma Above is to survive, Ekata must seize her family’s power. Nothing has prepared Ekata for diplomacy, for war, for love…or for a crown she has never wanted. In the space of a single night, Ekata inherits the title of duke, her brother’s warrior bride, and ever-encroaching challenges from without-and within-her own ministry. But just as an escape is within reach, her parents and twelve siblings fall under a strange sleeping sickness. Not her books or science experiments, not her family’s icy castle atop a frozen lake, not even the tantalizingly close KylmaBelow, a mesmerizing underwater kingdom that provides her family with magic. When Ekata’s brother is finally named heir, there will be nothing to keep her at home in Kylma Above with her murderous family. Goodreads Description: An enchanting tale of intrigue where a duke’s daughter is the only survivor of a magical curse.

I’ll be doing my normal review, plus a dream cast for this amazing book. I’m super excited to be part of the blog tour for The Winter Duke, hosted by The FFBC.
