Frostfire
by Amanda Hocking
["Before when we were talking, were you asking why HER?" The aurora above us reflected on his face, and his dark eyes were filled with heat. "Or were you asking why NOT you?"]
And this ladies and gentlemen is where I yelled "OH MY WORD!" and then laughed so hard I nearly fell off of the treadmill.
Better than the Trylle novels? Possibly. I love this! I think the mystery of what's actually happening is good. The "love" story is a big iffy, again, it's more of a love shape than a love triangle. Bryn definitely has a different viewpoint than Wendy and I like that. I think if it was too similar I wouldn't like the story as much. Bryn is great. She's flawed, she obviously has an adversion to children, and she apparently doesn't have the ability to show emotion to people she cares about. But I understand it.
Her friends Tilda and Ember are great, I like their characters, and I like Linus. I kinda love Ridley as confused and confusing as he is. He's pretty awesome.
The royals here are very MEH. I tend to not like royals in YA novels, they're always the bad guys. Someone needs to fix that.
Konstantin is a very interesting character, I'm excited to see where he takes the story line.
The writing is good, I enjoy Hocking's work. They're easy to read through and enjoyable.
If you've not read the Trylle novels (and you should because they're great) and you're wondering if you can read this series first, you absolutely can but it will spoil the final couples of Trylle. So if you plan to read both, read the Trylle novels first. If you plan to just read the Kanin, that's fine too, the first book explains enough that you don't need the backstory from Trylle to help you figure out what's going on.
