Draws you in

Book 3 in this series evoked more emotion than I have experienced in a book for a long time. Elena is so dumb at times and it was frustrating to experience her excessive denial towards her destiny but her interchanges with Lucian from the grave are so heartbreaking that I actually shed a couple of tears! I love the relationship that emerges between Cora and Elena. This part of the story was masterfully written and played out. The whole story unravels In Some surprising ways; I am downloading book 4 as I write!

Fun story, needs a bit more cutting

If you could sum up Frostbite in three words, what would they be?

fun, escapist, darkening

What other book might you compare Frostbite to and why?

There are similarities to Harry Potter, King Arthur, Narnia, etc. It's got qualities of magic, secret places, lost heirs and a need to fight off a great evil.

Have you listened to any of Erin Moon’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to Erin perform through all three books available for audio. She does a decent job. I felt like I was listening to William Shatner a few too many times because of her cadence but otherwise, I thought she brought the characters to life and gave them each a personality rather well.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

The Rubicon's fate is in her hands...

Any additional comments?

A little long winded with a great deal of narrative spent regretting the loss of others, missing those who have passed, self blame and brooding. I wish the author had spent less time having Elena seek absolution from absolutely everyone and more time developing a streamlined story. Still it was fun when you get past the constant, "it's my fault" language. I do like that some of the supporting characters got a bit more air time. The plot seemed a bit overly contrived at times but it's a fantasy world so why not. Also, has no one in this world ever heard of anger management skills? Surely one of the adults would have thought, "well, she's got this issue that isn't going away, lets help her work with it instead of just looking at her in a worried fashion all the time." I can't believe that she would be allowed to lash out irrationally in a school full of other students and then be left to her friends to figure things out.

Great story line and growth

This story continued to grow. It had several unexpected turns that made you fall in love with the book more and more. I found that I was addicted to it and just had to keep going.

The love story

The love story between Lucius and Elena was beautiful, and then to add that she became the princess of Paya just put it in such a perfect conclusion.

Awesome!

This series is 100% worth the listen and the narrator is excellent- I’m super judgy of narrators but this one truly brings the story alive. Each book in this series gets better and harder to put down. Can’t wait to listen to the rest.

Ehhh.. it’s okay

I’ve been hoping as the author progressed, the writing would improve but it continues to be very cringey and juvenile, implementing many stereotypes and shallow personalities. I have been intrigued enough with the storyline to continue despite the writing, and will continue to carry on to the next one to find out where the story goes from here. The books are fairly short and sweet and don’t require a huge amount of thought, so if you’re looking for a filler series in between heavier reads, this one may do it for you!

Awesome. Captivating.

I’m so in awe of this series. I am obsessed. 🥰 Elana has too much anger & attitude for me at times.
