The City of Snow & Stars

Kyra Ann Dawkins

The City of Snow & Stars was an absolutely stunning read. I was enraptured by the world-building and the multifaceted characters. My opinions on each character are profoundly mixed, which points to a skillfully rendered nuance. I won't give anything away by saying that there were some details that caught me by surprise. Though the book takes place in a fantasy realm, there are familiar aspects like calendars and foods that connect readers back to our own world. I wonder if/how these threads will be teased out as the story unfolds...

As a Christian, I'm so grateful for Howard's work. There were times I had to take breaks from reading this book because of the brokenness and pain depicted, but my heart needs to break over these things. I'm so glad that The City of Snow & Stars doesn't shy away from brokenness. In recognizing the severity of the brokenness and pain, the reconciliation, healing, and justice are all the more powerful and miraculous. I'm really looking forward to the next book of the Cities of Wintenaeth series!
