Kingdom Cold is the story of Princess Charlotte and how she agrees to get married under parental pressure in order to save her kingdom from war. As the story progresses, we learn more about what Charlotte is facing, meet her betrothed, see her fall in love after fighting all odds, and winning.

What I love most about this book has to be the plot. It is so very engaging and interesting and keeps you on your toes at all times. One thing after the other just keeps happening and you’re so sucked into the story that I don’t recommend reading it unless you have some time on your hands because you’ll want to finish it one sitting. It is a relatively short book with a little over 250 pages, so it is a pretty quick read and that is also amazing.

However, this book is a little too fast paced. Like, the characters aren’t out of one situation before they’re thrust into another one, and though that is fun and interesting, it did take away from the characters because we never got to see them take a moment. There wasn’t really much place for some slow, profound thought because stuff kept happening and happening.

Coming to the characters, I absolutely adore both Charlotte & Young (her LI). They’re very similar in some ways and very different in others. They both love their kingdom, their people a lot and understand their responsibilities as rulers. They’re both brave and unafraid and willing to die for the sake of others, be it friends or family and that is beautiful. But, Charlotte is definitely the more outgoing one out of the two. She is also the one who wears her emotions on her sleeves, while Young is the sort to bottle his feelings up to make it easier for the others.

Together, they’re one amazing couple and I loved how the little bits of their relationship was showed in the story. I loved how even after Charlotte wasn’t welcoming of Young, he agreed to marry her, and he stayed because he is a man of honour.

However, it seemed like everyone in the book was falling in love with someone only after spending a little time together and that was annoying. But, it did make sense in some way and it definitely gave characters motive to act in a certain way. So, I’m not too mad about that, especially since nothing was drawn out for too long and no one spent months and years trying to chose one suitor.

The ending, though. It broke my heart. But, some things that happened were absolutely awesome and after that, I am so looking forward to the next book in this trilogy because it is going to be so freaking shit awesome!

All in all, it was a very interesting and engaging read and I would recommend if you were in the mood for a fast paced and interesting fantasy! 🙂
