shine your icy crown focuses mostly on sisters and their relationship. I liked that a lot because I like positive female friendships in books. There’s a lot of the older sister giving advice to the younger one and (thankfully) I didn’t feel like the advice was too cheesy or unwanted (I have an older sister and sometimes I don’t always want to accept the advice 

As always with Amanda Lovelace, there’s the important theme of self-love and self-empowerment. In this one it’s the big sister telling the older one to be more happy. Care less about what other people think. Stand up for yourself, make your voice the loudest advocate for you. Lets the younger sister know that even though others might not love her, her older sister always does.
