Interesting read. Fun, if superficial. I found Snow Like Ashes to be an action-packed story with Meira and Theron being the most filled out, but it felt like character building and world building were second to action. Even as I've finished this within minutes, I've already forgotten the names of Meira's fellow exiles and their relationship to her. I'm unclear on why these particular people escaped or even their relationships to each other. I don't understand why the Rhythm kingdoms feel the Season kingdoms are barbarians or why magic is tied to a specific sex. In fact, there was a lot left out on the magic front, like the author hadn't quite worked it out herself. That said, there's plenty of action, the good guys are clearly delineated from the bad guys, and generally it's a fun read.
