Thankfully, I didn’t feel this way at all. Nonetheless, this does not diminish the journey that Bartlett takes her readers on: there are twists at every turn and almost everyone seems like a villain neither Ekata nor the reader knows whom they can trust.Īlthough this is very much Ekata’s story, there are so many characters surrounding her that there is a danger some of these may seem undeveloped. The Winter Duke spans only six days in its storyline. Suddenly, she is the Grand Duke and is expected to prove herself worthy to rule Kylma Above: conquering the world of politics and magic in order to find a way to wake her family and avoid death herself. However, at the age of thirteen, Ekata wakes to find herself the only member of her family who has not been cursed into a permanent sleep. However, Ekata has no interest in the throne at all: her interests lie in biology rather than brokering treaties and she wants nothing more than to leave Kylma Above and attend university. Both dependent upon one another and both as violent as they are beautiful.Įkata is a middle child within the Avenko royal family: a family who are intent on murdering each other to get to the throne. A duchy of ice and snow above, a duchy of water and magic below, separated only by a lake of ice.
