Frostblood

Yay! Another special snowflake, get it?, story! Ruby is a fireblood, which means that can produce a flame, and there are frostbloods, which means that they can control, oh you guessed it, frost! Well, the land, I forget what they call it, is controlled by a frostblood king, and he has basically wiped out all the firebloods. Ruby is the last, most precious. Insert eye roll. Some stuff happens, her mother is killed, she is captured, and her village is burned to the ground.

Flash forward to 5 months later, and Ruby is basically being tortured, being doused with water every day to ensure her flame doesnt get out of control, and out of nowhere some, dun dun dunnnnn, frostbloods show up to save her. Obviously it makes no sense for a while why frostbloods want to help a fireblood, but they make a bargain with Ruby, and she escapes. They turn out to be monks, and one of them is a master frostblood, who can help her control her flame. Do I also not need to tell you... she excels at it? Yeah, shes da best. Arcus and Ruby have some weird thing for a long time, which gets awkward for me, and I dont even understand it because they werent together that long? Anyways, I never trusted Arcus. Jerk.

Then Ruby gets captured again, surprise! And that is all I will spoil. I am curious what she will do for the next book, because honestly I feel like she could have ended the story here and I would have been a lot happier with it. It was a solid 2.5 stars, but I have decided from now on I will round down. Also, there wasnt really anything original about this book, it was very typical YA, including a love triangle somehow. Albeit a brief one. Fun times.
