Magic.Wizards.Ice heart.Love.All wrapped up in FOLLOWED BY FROST.I enjoyed this book! It was a different read than I've read in a long time. From the beginning I knew how the book would play out but I still liked reading it. Smitha is not a nice person. She's mean and selfish; she has a cold heart. And that's what gets her in trouble with a wizard in disguise. He curses her to always be as cold as her heart. She cries ice, her spit is ice, and yes, all bodily fluids are ice. She's always cold. I...
2015 Whitney Award Finalist for Speculative Young Adult Fiction. 2016 Rita Award Nominee for Best Young Adult Romance.Why did I take so long to finally read this? This was one EPIC fable!!! There are many titles that I have rated 5 stars that I will probably never reread. This is one that I want to get a hardcopy of to put on my shelf that I will reread over and over again till it is worn down like the books the heroine in the novel has loved and read hundreds of times.The book description total...
This is the second Holmeberg novel I've unwittingly wandered into, fooled by Branden Sanderson blurbs, hoping for a fantasy and getting a full fledged romance novel. But a very very chaste one, because just like Sanderson Holmeberg is very obviously operating on LDS "let's not get too sexy in here" standards.This is fine for me with Sanderson who cannot write two characters with passable sexual chemistry for the life of him but manages deeply complicated fantasy and political intrigue with gusto...
This book snuck up on me. I picked it up because Brandon Sanderson blurbed it, and anyone who knows my reading tastes will know that that's review enough for me. At first, I was feeling a little let down - the book starts slowly and a little unevenly - but by the end of the book, I found myself shying away from touching other people for fear I would freeze them. That's how far this book got into my head, and that in and of itself is a recommendation for it.The strongest impression I was left wit...
So, the last couple of days I felt pretty crappy. I felt lonely and depressed. Since I'm not the greatest at expressing my feelings to my friends and family, I occasionally need another outlet. So, I was looking for a book that would make me cry but have a happy ending. Since I had already read the Paper Magician Trilogy by the same author I decided on Followed by Frost and boy did it deliver!Followed by Frost is a first person narration by Smitha (not a great name choice, but there are always n...
***** 4 Stars *****I had a difficult time reading this book in the beginning. The story started with the main character being vain, selfish, and self-absorbed. But all this was necessary to explain how Smitha received her curse.Snow followed her, and everything she touched would frost. Eventually her curse kicked her out of her village, and her only choice was to live her days alone. For years, she thought about her actions in the past, and regretted some of the things she's done. But one group
I'm always curious as to how authors come up with different ways to spin such a beloved classic and in this case, it's Beauty and the Beast, but opposite. This story is definitely different and every enjoyable and I love that it has those few familiar components. Smitha is the one who is cursed and her curse of being as cold as her heart is placed on her by a spurned magician. Can you imagine? Of course, it takes some time to humble Smitha and her journey is both heartbreaking and enlightening....
