You know, the first half of Frozen Tides didn't pull me in right away but the second half? HOLY CRAP. SO GOOD. SO FREAKING GOOD!

“All magic comes with a price. A price that is never revealed until after the damage has been done.”
I don't know what's the price Morgan Rhodes has to pay for her magic and shamelessly, I don't care. Because no price will ever be enough for such a mind-blowing, engrossing book as Frozen Tides.
Of course, paying for my therapy would be greatly appreciated because I'm pretty sure this

They freaking killed one of my favorite characters. And NO, I'm not saying who, but I certainly want to kill them all!

So, Jonas is still bumbling around getting a few things done here and there. But mostly getting saved by Lysandra and a new character named Olivia.
Magnus and Cleo are off in another place where Magnus is sitting the throne since that's what Prince's do and such. Of course his father will probably kill him, but that's neither here nor there. I love Magnus and Cleo. I was o ...more

EDIT 1/1/16
I loved reading this (and OMG MAGNEO CANON YASSS) but unlike the other books, it didn't feel like there was a definite goal in this one. It felt more like a bunch of events that could have been a buildup to an actual goal, like defeating Limeros in book one or finding the Kindred in book 3. However, I still enjoyed this one and I still absolutely love the characters of this series. They've all developed very well and they feel like real people.

PRE-REVIEW:

-Lucia should probably die!!! ☺
-and so should Jonas!!! ☺
-Magnus and Cleo are a ship ☺
-They should kiss a lot ☺
-They shouldn't die ☺
thanks ☺ ...more

Morgan Rhodes, you never disappoint.
I thought nothing could dethrone Rebel Spring, but Frozen Tides proved me wrong. This book is everything I needed and more.
As per usual, this novel doesn’t shy away from Falling Kingdoms’ edgy premise. From its rich and detail world building, bloody politics, conspiracy, rebellion, romance, the portrayal of justice, and how there is an ocean difference when it comes to monstrosity and beauty.
Frozen Tides opens up where Gathering Darkness wrapped it off. Cleo ...more
This book honestly
annoyed me to no end.
But I'm assuming that was the goal that Morgan Rhodes was trying to achieve so therefore, Frozen Kingdoms did its job well lol.
So much happened in this book but all I remember is:
MAGNEO

** 5 "I'M IN BLISS, THIS WAS AMAZING" stars !! **

Well, I guess it’s settled, Frozen Tides has become my favorite book in the series now ! It was everything I could have expected after the awesomeness that had been Gathering Darkness !
I loved that the world was expanded and that we got to meet the Emperor of Kraeshia as well as his Empire and his family. The intrigue in this book was amazing, thrilling, exciting, addictive, full of ACTION and TWISTS and PLOTS and ALLIANCES and REVENGE and LOVE a ...more

If you hear someone screaming it's me from all the fucking FEELS.
Once again, Morgan Rhodes has left me speechless. Frozen tides absolutely EXCEEDED my expectations.
Frozen tides starts off right where Gathering Darkness left off. Amara has sailed off to Kraeshia with the water kindred, leaving Magnus, Cleo, and Nic behind in the destruction of the events that went down.
We get a couple of new POV's because, the more the merrier, right? Which is fine because it's essential to the plot of the ...more

Alright.

4.5 stars. Okay, confession? I always feel a little stupid when I've been ignoring books for months only to discover that actually, GOD, I WANT MORE. When I expressed the need to escape - which I haven't been able to do since September, if I'm being honest - my dear friend Chelsea suggested I started this series, that she recommended me *cough* months ago *cough* (I am truly an awful friend, alright).

She raised her brow. "Thank me? Am I dreaming?"
"Don't worry. I'm sure it won't happen again anytime soon." Magnus drew even closer to her, and her smile faded at the edges.
"Was there something else you wanted from me?" she asked.
If only you knew, he thought. You'd probably run away from here and never look back.
There's something to be said about less is more...and perhaps I should just leave my ridiculously weird pre-review as my main review. However, it just doesn't feel right to not ta ...more

Every time I pick up a book in this series the story grabs me by the throat on the first page and refuses to loosen its grip until the last, leaving me gasping for breath.

=> In this book, I loved Magnus! And of course, Jonas too. Now I love them both equally. They both are amazing in their own way. For me at least.
=> Cleo played an amazing role in this book. I really liked how fluently she lied at everything. Really! I didn't con ...more
This series is one of those type of books that make it impossible to explain what actually happened and how I felt about. Let me just tell you that I'm in love with this series and completely obsessed with it. I can't seem to put these books down and I'm always itching to find out what happens next.

I have to say that this is probably my favorite book out of the whole series. I can't even really say anything because it would all be spoilers. Characters are on point. Plot is cray. I LOVE THIS SERIES SO FREAKING MUCH.
Is it bad that I sort of like Amara? She's pretty evil, but I get it...sorta? I mean what she did was deplorable and completely inexcusable. Okay I only like her a tiny tiny tiny bit when she's not a snake. LOL

This book just made it to my all-time favorites. Strong spoilers below
During the first three books, there were only two reasons why I kept reading this series, the main and first one was Magnus, and the second one was Magneo.

Morgan Rhodes lives in Ontario, Canada. As a child, she always wanted to be a princess -- the kind that knows how to wield a sharp sword to help save both kingdoms and princes from fire-breathing dragons and dark wizards. Instead, she became a writer, which is just as good and much less dangerous. Along with writing, Morgan enjoys photography, travel, reality TV, and is an extremely picky, yet vor
