This was fine! I enjoyed it!
Fantasy is not really my jam, but I do love stories of brave and powerful and hardworking women uniting against the Patriarchy (or ice kingdom, or whatever - basically Men Behaving Poorly), so there's that.
I didn't love the repetition of the same story from a second person's perspective, which happened frequently and required a bit of backtracking, and I didn't find the multiple viewpoints that useful in telling me any new information (though when I heard there were lots of POV characters with no discernible way of telling the characters apart, it did scare me off listening to the audiobook).
I mean, it was fine! Whenever I picked it up I was engrossed in it. But I don't think it will be particularly memorable, for me anyway.
My favorite parts were Miryem's ice-people servants, Tsop and Flek and Shofer. They were pretty cool. (Har har, I didn't even intend that pun.) I liked her growing relationship to them and the growth of the world-building in her understanding this new kingdom. I also liked the house-in-two-kingdoms.
