Slaying the Frost King by Candace Robinson

3.0

It was ok.. Slow to get going but it got better towards the end. I love a book that has an enemies to lovers aspect but in this instance they definitely started off as enemies but as the book progressed it didn't seem like they were really in love, lovers yes but in love not so much. The familiars were fun but I would have liked to know more about Eirah's owl which seemed to have no purpose. The ending was underwhelming, the build up for the final good vs bad was let down when Eirah got injured and the whole thing got delayed a couple of days with no impact on the world whatsoever. There was no final battle, no big revelation just a spell easily completed by a witch with no knowledge of her powers just an instinct. Overall, it wasn't the worst nor the best, the pacing was fast so it was easy to get through but I probably wouldn't read it again.
