The Snow Queen
The Snow Queen | Mercedes Lackey
2 posts | 7 read | 2 to read
Aleksia, Queen of the Northern Lights, is mysterious, beautiful and widely known to have a heart of ice. But when she's falsely accused of unleashing evil on nearby villages, she realizes there's an impostor out there far more heartless than she could ever be. And when a young warrior disappears, Aleksia's powers are needed as never before. Now, on a journey through a realm of perpetual winter, it will take all her skills, a mother's faith and a little magic to face down an enemy more formidable than any she has ever known.

Mehso-so

This actually had a few different storylines, which made it a bit confusing for me at the start. I enjoyed the second half much more after one of the storylines wrapped up (Aleksia‘s “usual business”) and the other two storylines (including searching for the imposter) joined up.

I'm choosing my least favorite lady-trope for today's #octphotochallenge: classic characters. At the least, though, I love seeing their use in surprising or subversive ways. Mercedes Lackey is always good for a #fairytaleretelling, and the witch queen of Narnia makes for a fantastic, compelling villain. Am I missing any other great snow/ice queens?
