Slaying the Frost King by Elle Beaumont, Candace Robinson
4.0
Rating: 4.5/5
Spice: 2/5 (easily skipped over and occurs in 3-4 scenes in the last 25%)
Slaying the Frost King was an introduction to Candace Robinson’s works. Even without any background on her world building, I genuinely loved this book. It was such a good read and the characters were well written.
Eirah is a head strong woman, the daughter of a toy maker, who meets with the Frost King under circumstances that are entirely undesirable. You can feel her anger at her predicament. She hates the Frost King and would love nothing more than to kill him herself. I loved her fierce love for her best friend and father, as well as her attitude towards doing what needed to be done, whether the outcome was in her favor or not.
The Frost King is definitely a morally grey MMC in all sense of the word. He starts out broody and grimaces… a lot. His banter was witty and I enjoyed his character development. He cares more for his kingdom and their safety than he’d ever let on, and the flashes of his childhood trauma show more depth to him as a character.
The only thing that prevented me from giving this 5 stars was because I felt like the epilogue was a little rushed. Other than that, it was phenomenal and I cannot wait to explore the other books that are set in this world.
