Frostblood was certainly a pretty decent novel. I'm really glad that I started it when Akarnae was not so interesting for me at that moment. I was extremely astonished by how page-turning this book was. Well, I can't say that there was constant action, but still I was not bored by it at all.
The only really bad thing about this book is that there was nothing really unexpected in it (except for one or two small moments). But that still didn't prevent me from enjoying the book. Of course, some aspect of it were a bit childish, but I'm afraid that says very grown up me :)
As for main characters, I don't have anything bad to say about them. The narrator, Ruby, is quite a smart girl and I didn't have to suffer through a bunch of cringing decisions. I liked how on the one hand she is really powerful, but on the other hand, her power has its limitations. There is definitely room for developing her character and I do hope that author will do just that in the next books.
Well, of course I can't do this review without mentioning other main character - Arcus. I'm afraid, that the his real identity was not really a surprise for me. Because he had to be someone really important, didn't he? Anyway, I do like him too (or maybe just his sense of humor). I also hope to see more of him in the next books.
Of course, how can YA trilogy exist without romance in it? This series doesn't answer that question, because love is definitely present in the novel. However, it was neatly done (even if a bit fast for my taste), but still the amount of it was just right. And of course, there were no love triangles or other strange figures and I pray that it stays so.
All in all, I don't regret spending my time with the book, and I'm eager for the next one.
