The sky speaks on the frozen island of Skane. Beautiful lights appear and their colours have meaning: Green means all is well, blue means a snowstorm is coming. And then there's red: Rare. A warning. When the sky last shone red, a terrible plague came to the island - this time around, can our heroine Osa prevent so many lives being lost again?

A Shiver of Snow and Sky

Lisa Lueddecke

On the frozen island of Skane, the sky speaks. Beautiful lights appear on clear nights, and their colours have meaning: Green means all is well, and the Goddess is happy. Blue means a snow storm is on the way. And then there's red. Red is rare. A warning. Seventeen years ago the sky turned red just as Osa was born, unleashing a plague that claimed the lives of hundreds of villagers, including her own mother. This time, when the night sky once again bleeds crimson, she must discover what it means before so many lives are lost again.

I liked how well and sophisticated the storyline was. But it could have been a little longer.

The skies above Skane tell a story. Green is good. Blue means a heavy snow storm or blizzard. Red is sending the people of Skane a warning. The last red sky was seventeen years ago. The plague came then. Osa was born, but her mother didn't survive. 
When the sky turns red this time, Osa is going to find a way to stop it. She will need the help of the Goddess.

I loved this book. The wintry setting and atmosphere were amazing. I loved the characters. Osa is a new favorite. I will definitely read more by this author.

I think that this book was nice. The setting and the tone of the author were beautiful which made the story magical in a way... but I think the content was lacking. The story was a very typical hero’s quest and I was simply waiting for something to make it stand out, but that never came. Also, the fake weeping angels were unnecessary.

Such a lovely, enchanting tale! A good way to end the year :)

I loved this book. Osa was an interesting and developed character and I really liked following her and Ivar throughout the book. The setting was amazing and the people both Osa and Ivar meet through their journeys were intriguing and engaging. A very enjoyable read. 4 and a half stars.
