Resumen del Editor
Born the heir of a master woodcutter in a queendom defined by guilds and matrilineal inheritance, nonbinary Sorin can’t quite seem to find their place. At 17, an opportunity to attend an alchemical guild fair and secure an apprenticeship with the queen’s alchemist is just within reach. But on the day of the fair, Sorin’s mother goes missing, along with the Queen and hundreds of guild masters, forcing Sorin into a woodcutting inheritance they never wanted.
With guild legacy at stake, Sorin puts apprentice dreams on hold to embark on a journey with the royal daughter to find their mothers and stop the hemorrhaging of guild masters. Princess Magda, an estranged childhood friend, tests Sorin’s patience - and boundaries. But it’s not just a princess that stands between Sorin and their goals. To save the country of Sorpsi, Sorin must define their place between magic and alchemy or risk losing Sorpsi to rising industrialization and a dark magic that will destroy Sorin’s chance to choose their own future.

Historia
The kingdom of Hálendi is in trouble. It's losing the war at its borders, and rumors of a new, deadlier threat on the horizon have surfaced. Princess Jennesara knows her skills on the battlefield would make her an asset and wants to help, but her father has other plans. As the second-born heir to the throne, Jenna lacks the firstborn's magical abilities, so the king promises her hand in marriage to the prince of neighboring Turia in exchange for resources Hálendi needs. Jenna must leave behind everything she has ever known if she is to give her people a chance at peace.

What would happen if an author went back to the darker themes of the original fairy tales for his plots, and then crossed the Disney princesses with Charlie's Angels? What's delivered is The Stepsister Scheme, a whole new take on what happened to Cinderella and her prince after the wedding. And with Jim C. Hines penning the tale, listeners can bet it won't be "and they lived happily ever after."

Historia
Everyone dreams of marrying a prince - except for me. I am nothing more than a pawn in my adoptive mother's diabolical plot against the seven kingdoms. I was the chosen tool, her sharpened blade that would cut the deepest into the heart of the kingdom of Baist. But like all deadly weapons, my wedding is two-edged sword that could cost me my soul. For I am Rosalie, one of the adopted daughters of Lady Eville, and it is my duty to enter into a loveless and hate-filled marriage with the narcissistic Crown Prince of Baist.

Below Forsaken Mountain, a plot is being hatched to overthrow the tyrant king of Trollus, and Marc is the right-hand man of its leader. His involvement is information more than one troll would kill to possess, which is why he must keep it a secret from everyone, even the girl he loves. After accidentally ruining her sister's chance to become queen, Pénélope is given one last opportunity by her father, the Duke d'Angoulême, to make herself useful: she must find proof that the boy she's in love with is conspiring against the crown.

Fae exist only in children’s stories, or so I thought. That was before a nightmarish creature of the Fae Realm dropped into my life. He claimed a seven-pointed mark on my skin signified my magical lineage, the bit of DNA my mother passed down. Days after I arrive in the Fae Realm, I’m thrown into a series of trials titled ‘The Devotion’. I must compete with demons, vampires, elves and more who want to claim their place at the future King’s side. I have no interest in this guy, but it doesn’t help that the King-to-be is a gorgeous, brooding fae.

Not every man can handle a magitech gauntlet that speaks in floating silver text, or a handful of women with unique...needs. I’m not every man. When a bad blind date got worse - like, interdimensional lightning storm worse - I woke up to a realm of dragon women, magical kobolds, and a playful monkey girl with a painful secret. I also accidentally (totally on purpose) stole an ancient artifact in the form of a black gauntlet that bonded with my body and unlocked various new abilities. So what’s the catch? The glove wasn’t meant for me. It was meant for the fabled Hero of Silura.

When a banished witch falls in love with the legendary trickster Loki, she risks the wrath of the gods in this moving, subversive debut novel that reimagines Norse mythology. Angrboda’s story begins where most witches' tales end: with a burning. A punishment from Odin for refusing to provide him with knowledge of the future, the fire leaves Angrboda injured and powerless, and she flees into the farthest reaches of a remote forest. There she is found by a man who reveals himself to be Loki, and her initial distrust of him transforms into a deep and abiding love.

Excellent Adventure!
“Foxfire in the Snow” by J.S. Fields:
Narrator: Lynn Norris
Foxfire in the Snow takes place in a fantasy realm of Sorpsi. It’s a land full of magic and guilds. Sorin is the heir of a master woodcutter. Sorin doesn’t want to become a woodcutter and struggles to find their way in the world. They would prefer to become an alchemist. Sorin travels to the capital city in hopes of finding an apprenticeship with the Alchemist Guild. Unfortunately, Sorin discovers the queen is missing, and all the guilds are empty.
Princess Magda and Sorin used to be best friends. Magda informs Sorin that her mother, the queen, and Sorin’s mother have disappeared. Magda is forced to take her mother’s place and attend the treaty talks, which will decide the borders of the Sorpsi. The deciding factor in determining boundaries is guilds. Those with guilds are considered a real country. With the guild masters missing, Sorpsi may cease to exist.
Magda forces Sorin to travel with her to the treaty talks and to help search for the Queen and Sorin’s mother along the way.
What I liked:
Like with Ardulum series, the author is a master world builder, and Foxfire in the Snow is another fine example. Sorin has developed themselves as an alchemist, but their powers come in the form of a multi-pouched bandolier filled with powders. If used correctly, the powders can do things such as turn things into crystal or heal a person’s wound.
The world is full of magic and rogue amulets which are buried throughout the kingdom. They are like bombs from a past world war that are found by accident and can be triggered.
The sexual tension between Sorin and Princess Magda. Poor Sorin is still trying to figure out their place in the world, and Magda flusters Sorin to no end.
What some folks may not like:
This is a Y.A. book, so the budding romance is a very slow burn with no sex. This is more of a coming-of-age book about Sorin.
The book will need a sequel and ends with a cliffhanger, requiring at least one more, if not two, to finish the story.
Few events seemed a little off on the story timeline. As we listened to it rather than read it, I couldn’t really go back and check like I do with print.
Summary:
My daughter (an adult) and I listened to the audiobook on our way to and from vacation. We were both sad when it ended and wanted to listen to the next installment, which isn’t yet written. Foxfire is an enjoyable story that can be enjoyed with your teen or, in my case, my straight adult daughter.
My daughter’s feedback on the story: “I thought the book was well written. I liked the gender-neutral term using “their” and Sorin’s relationship with Magda. Super cute and innocent. The story kept me interested and thoroughly entertained.”
Narrator: Lynn Norris does a fantastic narration job. My daughter and I really liked the distinct voices she used for different characters. She also narrated the Ardulum Series.

Can’t wait for more
It is painfully short and I need about 100 more hours of this story. The story involved love, magic science, heartbreak and a character trying to figure out who they are while their world is crumbling down on them. The ending was a little rushed but it didn’t take away from this wonderful story. Norris did a great job bringing the characters to life and her range is wonderful.

non-binary geek fantasy heaven!
So, Foxfire in the Snow satisfies me on multiple fronts. First, the protagonist, Sorin, is neither male nor female ― and, despite their world being barely on the cusp of industrialization, it is quite enlightened about sexuality in some ways, but has no category for Sorin's place on the spectrum. Also, in a matrilineal society, Sorin's the putative heir to their mother's master-woodworker business concern, but (a) they're not a girl, dammit! and (b) they want to be an alchemist instead. This is just at the onset of the story, which includes an odyssey across a glacier with the love interest, queen's daughter (NOT princess) Magda, and a long-lost, hostile brother, in search of their missing mothers, and to solve the mystery of disappearing guild masters (which may spell the economic downfall of their country). Sound confusing? If so, that's my fault, not the story's, which is spelled out clearly and in rich detail, full of witches, alchemists, master crafters, magic and science juxtaposed, red herrings and twists ― combined to create a rich tapestry (or maybe parquet in this instance?) of plot and character, and with the bonus of a protagonist who models both courage and very human confusion as they come to terms with their identity internally and in the real world. *Such* a good YA story, but, like Harry Potter, great for us grownups, too.
Narrator Lynn Norris is splendid here. Her Sorin is a work of art, with all the ambivalent bravado and sometimes faltering nuance of adolescence (they're 17) balanced with strength, intelligence, wit and resourcefulness, so that their struggle to be understood and accepted as non-binary is seamlessly blended into the character as a whole ― as opposed to a discrete polemic on societal shortcomings. All Norris's characterizations are three-dimensional and fully distinct, her accents are deliciously intriguing (particularly those of Sorin's mother and the queen), and she carries us across ice, into forest, and through intricacies of plot and scientific concept with energy and elan.

Epic LGBTQ+ Fantasy with Fungal Wood Dyes
Fungal wood dyes? Hell, yeah! I haven’t heard of this art before and I thought it might have been part of the magic system in this book, but having checked out the author’s website, I now know this is a real art! Not only is this a most excellent adventure full of magic and blossoming romance, it has introduced me to a new art form.
Sorin is an interesting character who has been held back from choosing a career, basic news from the the area, and developing friendships. Sorin’s mother has kept them secluded at their woodcutter hut but Sorin is way more interested in alchemy. But now Amada (Sorin’s mom) has gone missing, along with the Queen. Sorin sees it as a chance to seek out a an apprenticeship with an alchemist but she gets swept up into reluctantly assisting the princess (Magda) with finding their mothers.
I do love a reluctant hero and there’s so much to like about Sorin. I even loved those moments when I wanted to kick them in the butt and say ‘Get on with it!’. Sorin has had a lot of obstacles placed in front of them, but sometimes they are their own biggest obstacle. And I can see how Sorin grows throughout the story, learning so much about themselves as well as the bigger world.
Sorin is learning about their own body as well. At 17, Sorin is neither male nor female yet they don’t feel like their body is wrong either. Yet Sorin struggles with how to portray all that to the people around them and gain acceptance. I really appreciate how the author gave us all of that in small tidbits sprinkled throughout the tale and didn’t get bogged down in some long-winded angst (as so often happens with YA fantasy with any level of romance). I think it’s great that Sorin has Magda there to eventually confide in and their friendship grows stronger all the more for it.
The world-building and development of magic systems was really good too. Even in moments of action and even danger, Sorin can’t help but be caught up in alchemy and how it relates to the situation. We also have witches. Magic and alchemy are two very different things in this world and then there’s industrial tech. Sorin thinks the tech is evil, witches are bad, and alchemy will save the day. They may be right in the long run… or perhaps future books will find a way for all three to coexist in this world. I can see exciting things in Sorin’s future.
The romance was minimal, sweet, exploratory. No sex scenes. For me, the plot, setting, and characters come first and romance way down on the list and I love how it’s handled in this book. It never bored me and I felt it added to the story instead of bogging it down.
Additionally, I liked that Sorin was tossed into reconnecting with their brother, who left on his own apprenticeship years ago. It’s kinda rough at first but necessity sometimes makes odd allies. All together, it’s an exciting addition to the Fantasy genre and I love the inclusiveness of it. 5/5 stars.
The Narration: Lynn Norris was the perfect fit for this story. Both Sorin and Magda are about 17 and Norris had a young lady’s voice for Magda and a voice that could either be a young lady or a young man’s voice for Sorin. Norris had unique voices for all the supporting characters as well. I really liked how she portrayed the various emotions that Sorin went through on this journey. The pacing was perfect and I loved Norris’s creepy witch voice especially. There were no tech issues with this recording. 5/5 stars.
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. My opinions are 100% my own.

I can't wait for part 2!
At seventeen, Sorin hopes to become an apprentice with the queen’s alchemist but as they get ready to go to the alchemist fair, their mother, a master woodcutter, disappears, and Sorin discovers she’s not the only one who’s gone missing: other guild masters are nowhere to be found and even the Queen seems to have vanished. Reunited with their childhood friend and Royal Daughter Magda, Sorin reluctantly starts on a journey to save the Queendom of Sorpsi and hopefully win their freedom from the woodcutter guild.
It took me a while to get into the story but having read and adored the author’s Ardulum series, I knew it would be worth it. I found both MCs very interesting, not always likeable but relatable.
Despite what people think by looking at their body, Sorin isn’t a woman, nor are they a man. They’re just Sorin. They’re not a woodcutter either, not yet an alchemist, definitely not a witch, and that feeling of not belonging follows them in every area, all the more so as their mother kept them sheltered from the rest of the queendom, turning them into an outsider to what most young people take for granted. Sorin sounds rather self-centred at times, in a way I found understandable, as they’re trying, not to find themselves – they know perfectly who they are – but to get others to stop questioning who they are.
Magda is the kind of kickass heroine I often love. She’s bossy – she’s the Royal Daughter after all – with a huge sense of duty and a kind heart.
A word about the narration. I already knew Lynn Norris is an outstanding narrator, I’m still impressed at how perfectly she managed to voice trees and fungi in the Ardulum books. Her voices for each character are so good that I often forgot there was only one person narrating.
Foxfire in the Snow is the first book in a duology and while a lot happens and there’s some resolution, the ending is very open, especially on the romance side. I look forward to the second part and hope we won’t have to wait too long for it.

Fun, exciting and educational
This was a great listen! The narrator did a great job giving voice to the characters. Also I was wondering how she would voice the nonbinary mc Sorin. That was also exceptionally done.
The book is set in a fantasy setting, there’s not a lot of world building but there is a lot of attention to culture and cultural developments. Despite being a fantasy there are lots of parallels to this day and age.
I’m very curious about the second book in this series. This book was a joy!
