Jack Frost, Volume 5: The End Becomes the Beginning by William Joyce
4.0
GOLLY, that was one heck of an ending.
Was it worth the three years of waiting? Sure. If only for the constant fangirling I went through while reading this.
Two small things that I wish could have been different.
-There was SO MUCH EXPOSITION in this book. SO MUCH. I personally don’t mind reading super-long explanations of characters’ pasts, but even this was a bit too much. Literally, half the book was storytelling. Just a warning there.
-From what I had understood, this book series and Rise of the Guardians were set in the same universe. But . . . after finishing this book, I’m not sure how that works. Jack’s origin story was somewhat different here. However, I still love the book series and the movie.
If you need any motivation to read this series, I will just say this: JACK FROST IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST. ;)
