A Daughter of Winter

The Scented Court, Book 3

De: A.L. Knorr

Narrado por: Manon Kahle

Love does not rest, but neither does evil.

With the end of the Midwinter Festival life in Solana was supposed to quiet down, but turmoil reigns instead. The Calyx are on strike while their familiars are in quarantine. Sasha and Rialta await trial, separated from Jessamine by a bureaucracy she is determined to overcome—even if it means bending the rules. Çifta is frozen in a pillar of ice and only Laec seems interested in trying to save her… But inside the ice Çifta must pass a magical test to win her life.

While citizens are distracted by the drama permeating their personal lives, sinister threats loom from both the East and the North, and one of them strikes without warning. A tale with more twists and turns than a mountain pass, is war inevitable, or will love conquer all?

A Daughter of Winter is the epic-length third book in The Scented Court YA noblebright fantasy series by an award-winning author. If you like independent heroines, animal and insect characters, slow-burn romance, and twists you won't see coming, then you’ll love A.L. Knorr’s dreamy but dangerous otherworld.

A Fun Fae Fascination

I've always wanted to try this and finally got the chance by accident. Surprisingly, I don't mean this book or even author but reading a book with out knowing its past. I came into The Scented Court with this book, book three, and yet it was still done super well! I didn't read everything when picking out this book and stepped into the middle of a story, but the way A.L Knorr presents it I wasn't actually lost and could figure out pieces of lore from the story's flow without even needing a recap chapter.
This continuation of The Scented Court featured Jessamin, Sasha, Lake, and Chifta with a few important cameos from beyond Solana. Sarah's trial for protecting Lady Chifta, Chifta discovering herself, Jess doing everything possible to help Sasha, and Lake doing his best for Chifta. We see Chifta history with her, Jess get rules changed with her friends, Lake getting freezer burn, and Sasha rewarded for his alleged murder.

A.L.Knorr is a consummate writer with a unique ability to paint her words into a movie for the mind. The stunning plants, rare animals and beautiful people will take you from the couch into an alternate universe that will move you to tears, joy and wonder. I was surprised with the turn of unexpected events but I agree with other reviewers that not much can be said without spoiling the story for other readers. Trust me you will love this series.

Brrr

I absolutely love this series! This is one of my favorite authors and I can’t recommend any of her books nearly enough, everything Abby writes is a masterpiece. I have read this book twice, as well as listened to the audiobook at least three times now!! This is my favorite in The Scented Court series. If you weren’t hooked by the first two (impossible), A Daughter of Winter will absolutely have your full attention.

enjoyed

this series just gets better with each book. the world building and the storytelling is mesmerizing. A series worth checking out.

Skipped several parts, tried several re-downloads.

May slow down just a bit. Your reading is impressive but sometimes we need a moment between sentences.
