Frostblood: the epic New York Times bestseller: The Frostblood Saga Book One

This is a Awsome debut novel. It is excellent by any novels standards. I was recommended this as I really liked the Throne of Glass and the story and the story telling is right on par with this great series. If you grew up with fairytales and love superheroes you will love this story.Ruby is a Fireblood (meaning she can generate frie) in a land ruled by by Frostbloods (the ability to generate ice), this is more that enough to get her killed. Tought the basics of her power by her grandmother, she is hidden away by her mother. However when her secret is discovered and cost her everything she holds dear, she is burning for one thing revenge. When an opportunity is presented to her, she is dubious of trusting her natural enemies as allies.This story has it all, well written, well paced, action, romance, and even great character development. I like that fact that the characters natural personalities match their powers Ruby is fire so hot tempered, where as Frostbloods are portrayed is emotionally cold as they are powerful. However the characters are not one dimensional the all develop through the story. Ruby is constantly second guessing herself, but when she makes a decision she is determined to see it through no matter the cost to herself. I really enjoyed this book, and can't wait for the next one.

Forced to hide her Fireblood abilities from the Frostblood ruling class, Ruby has never had the opportunity to practise or develop her skills. When Frostblood soldiers destroy her village and murder her mother, she is suddenly thrown into a battle she has little time to prepare for. Her mission: kill the Frost King.Frostblood is a classic, fantastic YA fantasy adventure. By far the best I've read in a long time. It is very well-written, with all the predictable but vital components of the genre: a feisty teen heroine, a rocky but passionate romance, and an epic battle between good and evil.Ruby is a strong, volatile character. She has some serious anger-management issues and the tendency to jump to conclusions, but it's all essential to her Fireblood personality which stops her from tipping over the edge into annoying (like so many YA heroines do). The rest of the characters, including love-interest Arcus, are also likeable and well-developed. I especially loved brother Thistle - what a babe.The plot is really, really good. It's super eventful and unpredictable. There were good amounts of plot development, character and world building in equal measure. The book was at no point boring, but also didn't speed along too quickly or become too action-packed. Plus there were one or two plot-twists that genuinely took me by surprise.Frostblood is a must-read for fans of fantasy and magic. I will be buying book #2, immediately.

This was just fine. Nothing out of the ordinary and had several boring dips. The romance was kind of instant and didn't develop very much. However, there were several interesting bits and a surprise that was well hidden. The fantasy element was just kind of been there done that, and several books have done it better.

I REALLY ENJOYED THIS BOOK. (Sorry for the aggressive CAPS.) I loved the characters, I loved the story, I loved the fact there is a second book so I could keep reading. I really really loved Brother Thistle. I loved the touch of (YA) romance. If you liked SJ Maas Throne of Glass series you will like this too. #whereismyarcus

I was looking for books similar to that of Sarah J Maas, I ordered Frost Blood after the reviews but have been really unimpressed by it.The writing is quite basic, might be good for young readers.
