Frostgrave: Second Chances: A Tale of the Frozen City by Matthew Ward
3.0
I was given this book by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
I adore the cover for this book, and the blurb. At the beginning, the story starts right in the inciting event with action and purpose. It snared me right into the story.
However, the initial event lasted for nearly the first 10% of the book, so after awhile it began to drag, despite the action. I wanted to get there and get out of the cave to explore the rest of Frostgrave. When it finally happened, the characters stopped and entered a long segment of sitting and talking and reminiscing. It stalled the story, and thus my interest.
I tried every few days to pick it back up as I really wanted to continue this tale, but unfortunately by the time anything happened again I'd lost the connection. This is purely subjective on my part as characters sitting and talking in long droves loses me in any story. DNF at 16%
While continuing this story isn't for me, I'd probably recommend it to readers who love fantasy and stories that focus on sister relationships.
