Frost: A fae romance (Frost and Nectar Book 1)

Product Information

I totally admired Lia and her determination to take care of siblings after her parents death no matter what the sacrifice is. She has a strength and braveness that is beyond words as she stands up for what she believes in and tries to do what she thinks is right. And I thought her siblings were great supporting characters too. Gabe: I know Gabe was a fugitive but by some motive i felt annoyed by seeing him letting Lia put her family and herself in danger so many times for him. Lia was like his “Prince Charming”, and I would like to have saw him being a little more harsh in some moments. However, as we delve more into this world and learn more how this world works and how it came to be I have a feeling this aspect is going to get stronger. I’m hoping it gets stronger. My guesses as to the continuing story arc from the ending certainly leads me down that direction but I can’t be sure until I read the next book, Thorns. Then there's this sense of impending doom, with which the author was able to permeate the descriptions of the woods of Frost

Not only the characters, but the environment just blew me away. I don't think a word was wasted creating the harsh, stark world Lia lives in, from the snow falling everywhere to the monstrous Watchers lurking in the woods that'd rip anyone caught out at night apart. Add in Lia's village, clinging to survival, apart from but threatened by the Farthers from the south, and all of it's awesome setup for a fast-paced, unputdownable story about helping an outsider escape from oppression to freedom and the price that must be paid. And the ending, well not exactly a cliffhanger, but it is just the right bittersweet cap that would've made this book a powerful standalone (if more than a few readers angry). I loved this story, it was enchanting and magical. The setting was so well described I could actually almost feel the chill on my skin. The characters were awesome and believable, I only wanted to know them more and read more about them. The story itself was definitely amazing; the author spun a tale of originality with dread and suspense laced in the folklore of the world. I was on edge on the scenes with the Watchers, I really want to know what they are specifically but boy I would not want to meet one! The touch of romance was definitely a plus! Sadly it wasn't for me. The blurb seemed so intriguing and the way it was marketed made it seem like a perfect read for any fantasy/fae book lovers but it wasn't the case. All in all, a great read that I highly recommend if you like young adult fantasy. I am eagerly waiting for Thorns.

The part that bothered me most about the book was how much the male lead, Torin, was forgiven for the parts of him Ava didn’t like because “he was hot.” Not a direct quote. Anyway, I sort of don’t get how people are given passes for looks. Not for the things he was forgiven for, at least. A hot person spills a drink on me in a bar? Forgiven because they smiled at me. It’s pretty privilege. Burning humans alive at Beltane? Yeah, I don’t think being hot is enough to move past that. Meyers, Jeffrey (1996). Robert Frost: A Biography. Boston: Houghton Mifflin. pp.107–109. ISBN 9780395728093. It is an entertaining and engaging work that draws readers in as it sets up the events of the third work of the series.

In a way, I felt that this book was a little TOO short - not necessarily in its length, but because of its brevity, I felt a lot of the story could have used more depth.

I'm telling you, those things think they're alive, Frost. Can you imagine? Being trapped inside a wall for all eternity? The darkness that envelops you, and not glimpses of light?

In 1960, Frost was awarded a United States Congressional Gold Medal, "In recognition of his poetry, which has enriched the culture of the United States and the philosophy of the world"; [21] it was formally bestowed on him by President Kennedy in March 1962. [22] Also in 1962, he was awarded the Edward MacDowell Medal for outstanding contribution to the arts by the MacDowell Colony. [23] I’m part of a book club. This was the book chosen for the month of April 2023. I was expecting it to be fine or good. Mostly, I was just interested in interacting with people who also like books. TOURNAMENT PLOT LINES are always entertaining and this was no exception! Although Ava did get some help from Torin throughout the tasks, I didn’t feel like it took away from her own badassery. The tournament definitely felt like high stakes and the authors didn’t shy away from making it bloody. I had the privileged of being a part of the cover reveal from AToMR Tours for Frost. So when I knew Frost was going on tour I jumped at the chance to be on it. When I read the blurb I was excited to be introduced to a new world.Sometimes we bloggers tend to stay with the same genre but I said hey this good. I have to say I am so glad I read Frost because it left me breathless and wanting book two like yesterday!

In providing an overview of Frost's style, the Poetry Foundation makes the same point, placing Frost's work "at the crossroads of nineteenth-century American poetry [with regard to his use of traditional forms] and modernism [with his use of idiomatic language and ordinary, everyday subject matter]." They also note that Frost believed that "the self-imposed restrictions of meter in form" was more helpful than harmful because he could focus on the content of his poems instead of concerning himself with creating "innovative" new verse forms.

The spice in this book is mild, however, the scenes still had me smiling and looking silly at my kindle. I would give it a 1-1.5 🌶 rating on that aspect.It also appears multiple times throughout the book that there will be smut. But there's no spice despite the few dialogues inserted in for the sake of it. Honestly, a little spice would've saved this book because whenever the main characters talked sex, they got some personality to themselves.
