The cover, the characters, the world and all the mystery surrounding it, the weird magic powers. They all sucked me in and I couldn’t stop listening.
I had waited to start this book because it seemed too long. After I finished it, I was sad it had to end and I’m now just waiting for the next one to come out.

THE FROST EATERS skillfully blends one of the most detailed and grounded magic systems I’ve ever encountered while introducing a world beyond our own, but with indelible traces of its earthly origins. Laced with interludes from a memoir from one of the founders of this world-beyond-extinction, THE FROST EATERS thrusts us into a world driven by those touched by the same magic that once destroyed civilization, and ruled by a monarchy with those same talents. At its heart are two young “magic eaters,” both seeking the truth of what happened to those they loved, and what secrets this seemingly idyllic civilization holds, who risk everything—status, family; life and limb. The more I learned about this world, and this magic, the more I was fully engrossed. Can’t wait for the next one in this series!
This is a fantastic start to a fantasy series!!! I really liked the characters and the plot. I want to find out what happens to the characters next. So, I'm adding the next book to my TBR.
Great read!
Absolutely love the mix of magic, creatures and characters. I'm looking forward to reading more with the sequel. Can't wait to dive into it and potentially other stories from Carol Beth Anderson. Fantastic writing!

I loved this book so much it was so well written I loved everything about it there were so many surprises that were just so well pulled off there was never a dull moment. I really loved the characters especially Nora and Krey they had a great friendship that took a bit to get going with Krey distrusting Nora in the beginning. I also loved Ovrun he was an amazing love interest for Nora with his own unique personality and willingness to fight for who and what he believes in. I loved Nora as a Character that went from a naïve princess to someone who had to do so much to save the people she cares about. I really liked the plot it started with a missing girl and the rush to find her and find out why she went missing in the first place in the process of this so much was uncovered that changed so much. So overall I loved this book I will read the rest of the books soon.
The concept is so fun. Can't wait to read the third book and for when my kiddos are old enough to read them.

This was such a great book. I really enjoyed the character and relationship developments, especially the non romantic relationships. It’s an angle that’s usually ignored or underdeveloped so I really appreciated that dynamic and the growth within it. The world building and history was really intriguing. I particularly enjoyed the scenes beginning each chapter. The plot was layered and well thought out. I’m also a fan of the originality. Some parts were predictable, but the premise is unique and the execution was well done. I highly recommend this book; I’m definitely looking forward to the next installment.

This book is very interesting. It's a post-apocalyptic world that has gained magic from the source of the apocalypse. The magic users get their magic by eating things related to their magic, like people who have ice powers have to eat ice and people who can fly have to eat feathers. It's a little bizarre, but even in the world it is acknowledged that it's kind of weird. At the beginning of some chapters you are reading an account from the first generation after the apocalypse happened and they talk about how it's kind of weird that these kids are craving strange things and then suddenly have magical powers.
There is romance, but it's not the driving force of the story. There's a strong plot and very clear world building. I was uncertain whether or not I would like the lead female character (Nora) at the beginning of the book but by the end I felt like she was very three-dimensional and a character that I would root for. Cray, the lead male, is great. I love that even though he is strong and brave, he can get overly emotional and be really vulnerable. The characters are well rounded but they read as their age (upper teen). I appreciate that they are not 17-year-olds with the worldly experience of a 50-year-old, because who isn't tired of that.
I highly recommend this book for people who like The Lunar Chronicles, the Hunger Games, or Harry Potter.
