And the way the book presented the plot twist to the other characters was so mundance and lackluster. I was kinda disappointed toward the end that Meira had such a lack of leadership when given the chance to see the other Winter slaves. The whole entire time she wants to do something for a kingdom that she doesn’t remember and she’s trying to figure out how to help them. The one Kingdom of Rhythm that we see in the book didn’t have such descriptions and imo weren’t as interesting.Ĭharacters – The main character Meira is really a “special snowflake” (It’s supposed to be funny because the kingdom she represents is Winter? Get it?) There’s a “huge” plot twist near the end that everybody probably figured out a while back ago in the book. Our Winter characters had white hair and blue eyes. For example, the Kingdom of Spring has blonde hair, green-eyed citizens while Autumn(ians?) were black-haired and tan. I really liked the descriptions of each different place’s population. I find it unrealistic that apparently only twenty-five people survived in an entire kingdom and of that number only eight are still alive, but I went along with it because that’s what you do with young adult books. Also the author TELLS us of the magical weapons but I don’t recall them being ever seen/used? Even though the whole plot is based around them and their “magic.” The only problem I have is what does rhythm have to do with seasons though like what to heck those two don’t fit together get away. Of course, magic is involved where each kingdom has an object that is a conduit of magic and each monarch uses it for the good of their people. Four Kingdoms of Seasons and Four Kingdoms of Rhythm. Setting – The world was pretty awesome, with eight kingdoms. I was really excited to read this after reading the synopsis, and it turned out to be a pretty good book, just not a great one. But the mission doesn’t go as planned, and Meira soon finds herself thrust into a world of evil magic and dangerous politics – and ultimately comes to realize that her destiny is not, never has been, her own. Finally, she’s scaling towers, fighting enemy soldiers, and serving her kingdom just as she’s always dreamed she would.
So when scouts discover the location of the ancient locket that can restore Winter’s magic, Meira decides to go after it herself. Training to be a warrior-and desperately in love with her best friend, and future king, Mather - she would do anything to help her kingdom rise to power again. Orphaned as an infant during Winter’s defeat, Meira has lived her whole life as a refugee, raised by the Winterians’ general, Sir. Now, the Winterians’ only hope for freedom is the eight survivors who managed to escape, and who have been waiting for the opportunity to steal back Winter’s magic and rebuild the kingdom ever since.
Sixteen years ago the Kingdom of Winter was conquered and its citizens enslaved, leaving them without magic or a monarch.
