Of course I am sucker, so I bought the second book, Forever Frost, on Kindle because I just want to see what happens (and it was cheap). It also ends literally in the middle of a scene which kind of irks me. The book is very short, I read this on Kindle, and it took me maybe an hour to read. Through the whole book I kept thinking…hmmm…this plot is a lot like The Iron King by Julie Kagawa, only 2D and not nearly as well written. There weren’t really any surprises in the story it was very predictable and the world Gow created didn’t add a lot of creativity to the fairy worlds I’ve read about before. In general the writing just seemed less polished and a bit immature.

The dialogue was forced sounding and a bit stilted, it just didn’t sound natural. All of the characters seem to loose their passion and become more like 2D figures being pushed through the pages. Breena looses her personality and becomes this generic fairy princess she looses a lot of spunkiness and kind of wanders around whereever people put her. The fairy courts are interesting, but after the first half of the book things began to decline.įor some reason about half-way through the book I just felt like things started to fizzle out, which is weird because that is when the action really picks up. Kian is a wonderful hero beautiful, moody, honorable. As with a lot of these teen books there was a love triangle of sorts Logan is Breena’s protector and is a werewolf, Kian is Breena’s fairy prince from long ago. This book started off wonderfully beautiful descriptions, a tough and fun heroine. Then one night Breena is attacked by a Pixie, saved by a Fairy Prince named Kian, and forced into the fairy realm that she had before only dreamed about. It isn’t until a boy disappears near her school and is found with human looking bites all over his body that she starts to fear there is more to her world than she knew.

Also it should be noted that this is a very short book took just over an hour to read it.īreena dreams nightly about a fairy court and a lovely fairy prince.

As the book went on though it lost depth and characters started sounding awkward and bored with themselves. This book was okay it could have been great and it did start out really good.

I had recently read both of Julie Kagawa’s Iron King books and was in the mood for more fairy court drama. I should start by saying that I got this book because of the pretty cover and the fairy premise for $4.99 is looked like a steal and had excellent reviews. Stand Alone or Series: 1st book in the Frost trilogy
