belle_fiction's review against another edition

A solid 5 star read!
I didn't really know what to expect when I picked this up but it definitely wasn't what was contained within. Even the Darkest Stars is a fabulous, dark and snow-filled read with some great characters (Kamzin, River, Tem and Ragtooth, of course) and leaves you wanting more. The atmosphere is tense and eerie and the descriptions of the mountains were superb! I followed Kamzin every step of the way and I even figured out one of the characters from nearly halfway in (I knew there was something suspect about a certain character).
I thoroughly enjoyed this and will definitely be purchasing the sequel; with an ending like that, it's impossible not to continue!

A fantasy story featuring a female mountaineer and her fox-like familiar? Yes please!
My only issue is that I need to get my hands on the sequel stat because of that cliffhanger (pun intended

I am so happy that I decided to reread this book before reading the sequel that I recently purchased.
I remember how much I liked it when I received it in one of my first Fairyloot boxes! Really enjoyed it!
story 4/5
characters 4/5
writing 4/5
audio/paper I reread the book
reread? Most likely.
I really liked this book though I find it hard to explain why.
I love the world and character building, the magic mechanism as well as the writing style.
I wish I could read book 2.

Beautiful story of Kanzim and her family, her desire to be an explorer and see the world besides her town (feeling I can easily relate to). I loved her courage and determination, I hated her sister, so harsh and I felt pity for Them, in love with her and nothing he can do to fix it. I actually felt very very sad with some deaths, some of them unnecessary...
