I’ve been meaning to pick Frostblood up for a while and enjoyed my time reading the book. Frostblood is the first book in a YA fantasy trilogy. The book follows follows the typical plot of a YA fantasy- girl learns how to use her powers, struggles with what she’s capable of, and has a romance a long the way.
I did enjoy the book and will pick up the next one eventually, but it’s not on my immediate TBR. The author fell into the “tell, don’t show” group and the pacing seemed off. I wish she really delved into moments instead of focusing so much on plot. It reads very straightforward and isn’t too original. But it is a fun read for a YA audience looking to hear about power, grief, and a touch of romance.

I listened to this as an audiobook.
I liked this book. It was a little obvious at first. And certain parts during the beginning didn’t really keep my attention but then middle to the end was great. I guessed the plot twists at the end but it was still a good read. I’d read again!

Unsere Protagonistin ist eine verängstigte junge Frau, die auf sich allein gestellt ist und gesucht wird da sie ein Feuerblut ist. Sie kann also Feuerbendigen. Durch Umwege gelangt sie an eine Gruppe Frostblut Rebellen die sie trainieren um mit ihrer Hilfe den König zu besiegen. Unsere Protagonistin wächst viel in dieser Zeit wird selbstbewusster und bleicht jedoch vorsichtig und bedacht. Ich muss jedoch leider sagen ich weiß nicht wo sich die beiden Hauptcharaktere ineinander verliebt haben... die haben sich die ganze Zeit nur angekeift aber mal schaun wo die Beziehung hinführt.
