Again and as always, I must remind you that I can't tell you what this book is exactly about, because it's the fourth in a series and those would be too many spoilers, so I'll begin to tell you everything I think about it, or at least what I can tell

I always have this "problem" of having high expectations with the book I read and I end up disappointing, well, I can say that Frozen Tides is one of those few exceptions. I've get into it waiting for a lot of things to happen and obviously, hoping that was as epic as it was the previous book, which I titled as my favorite of the series so far, I'm not sure about it right now though lol. The thing is that this book doesn't disappoint, I had everything I wanted and much more. I love how it catches and surprises from the first pages, making you just want to read more and more, it's one of those books where you say "just one more chapter" and you end up reading the whole thing, it's THAT GOOD.

Despite being a fantasy with all its components, it's really surprising how fast it can be read, it has many dialogues and as I go through the series I can see that there is more and more of them. This is GREAT for me!, I love fantasies that describe everything simply and have engaging and addictive dialogues.

I think that in this book is where I've seen the characters grow more, and none has been left behind, all have a great role and the secondary characters are excellent. I admire so much Morgan Rhodes writing style, is so unique and I swear that this writer never runs out of ideas, I've seen the plot grow and has only managed to get better and better, I also think that the plot has matured a lot since the first book, so If you have read it and still aren't sure about, I recommend you give it a second chance because I promise it only improves.

I'll talk super briefly about the characters, I laugh every time I say that, but I love them so much that I start to ramble lol

As I said before, the growth of the characters is something unique. I've seen, especially the female characters, take over of these books, and I celebrate these strong and powerful women who are layers of everything to get what they want.

Cleo, is a great example of this, I just love her, and although I have doubted her actions she never ceases to amaze me, she's fearless and smart and her chapters are always my favorites.
I met another character in the previous book and she's Amara and although her actions are quite questionable there's no doubt that she's a great example of female empowerment, she'll never let the society in which she has grown up, this kingdom rule by men, control her and maybe she's pretty evil but I really like this character!.
On the other hand, I had so many hopes to see Lucia, she had given me an incredible ending in the previous book, but I must say that it has become a difficult character to follow for me, not because it's boring actually, but because I think she has made some silly decisions in this book, maybe she has naively sinned, and he has decided to hurt characters that I love, you know, you could say that I'm angry with her but I still have faith and I'm interested in knowing what will happen.s
My boy, Magnus, I don't know what to tell you about him but WOW he has surprised me in this book, this character is so unpredictable and that's one of the things that I love most about him and his growth is INCREDIBLE, simply WOW again, I'm so happy for the decisions that he has begun to take, I'm proud of my babe.
I love Jonas in this book, there's something in him, in his freedom and his way of being so wild that I find adorable, I think he's the most independent character and seeing him suffer so much has hurt me, but I know will make him stronger and I'm ready to see that.
I want to also highlights characters like Nic and Felix whom I love and I only hope to see more and more about them

I have to confess that wasn't an easy trip, something happend, especially one thing that broke my heart and I was so angry, you guys, I still can't believe it and I thought "Oh god I will not continue reading this!" lol, we all know that's not true, but I was hurt. The in the plot twists are always surprising but sometimes they're too much and I think that my poor heart will not resist, I've become very attached to the characters and in this story that can be dangerous. On the other hand, there has been a special scene that I think I've been waiting since the first book and I'm so happy!, I told you at the beginning, too many emotions.

description

We know Kraeshia in this book and it's beautiful, the map continues to expand itself which I love, I've become so familiar with Mytica and its landscapes, I really enjoy that, so the incorporation of a new Kingdom has been perfect.

So, I could be talking about how much I love these books forever, but I think I should stop before I talk too much.
In short, I loved this book, at first I thought it wouldn't be a 5 star really, but then the whole end of this book was brilliant and I couldn't give it less, it deserve it!.
I highly recommend this saga if you're looking for some action, revenge, high tention scenes, betrayal, magic, FANTASTIC characters, love, hate, among other incredible things. ...more

Not even going to lie this is definitely a series that gets better with each book. The first book I felt meh about didn’t really connect with anyone. The second one I was rooting for some side characters. The third one I was like okay I get it now…but this fourth one was amazing. As far as plot lines go some of it was predictable, and some of it wasn’t. However the deaths just keep piling up in this one!! I can’t even stand it, I’m afraid to like anyone more reviews at alwaysbooking.wordpress.com

As far as plot lines go some of it was predictable, and some of it wasn’t. However the deaths just keep piling up in this one!! I can’t even stand it, I’m afraid to like anyone!!Then that ending was kind of like BAM!! Plot twist…

Ok so it will probably be spoilers from here on out so if you haven’t read up to and including Frozen Tides please don’t read past here…

Okay let’s talk about Cleo … She has finally grown into herself in this book. Every book before this I kind of wanted to smack her around. She seems so naïve for having gone what she has so far. However in this book her layers seem to come undone and she seems to grow into a woman. I’m so proud of some of the decisions she makes in this book. While I will say her love with Magnus is kind of predictable I’m glad it took 4 books to get there. Also her speech that she makes about Magnus to his city is wonderful I loved it.

Magnus has finally become a man, and I don’t mean the man his father wanted him to be. I’m so proud of him in this book and he has been my most hated character the last couple books. Once he finally pulls his head out of his ass. I love that he teams up with the rebels to help him take over the kingdom.

Nick is still my favorite character… which means he will probably die… so sad. He seems to finally be coming into his own too. This book is just full of people growing into the strong characters they should’ve been since the beginning. The end plot twist with him… Ugh that kills me.

Jonas is slowly falling from my favorite character list. He seems to be back peddling right up until the end of the book. I really liked that he will align himself with Magnus to take back the kingdom. I like how he evolved from wanting everyone dead to only wanting the right people dead. He also seems to find his own niche in this book. Almost like he finally belongs to this misfitted family.

Felix is a newer character of course but I feel like he should almost have his own book. For all the crap he goes through is unreal. I thought because I liked him as a side character he was for sure going to die in this one. He didn’t but I really thought it was possible. I hate how many men fall into that evil princesses hands!! I mean come on guys think of something other than your little captain.

Lucia is such a royal pain in the ass. She’s this amazing sorcerer who seems to believe an evil god?? I’m sorry but wake up honey everyone has used you so far in your life except Magnus and you just tortured his ass.

Am I missing anyone? No I didn’t think so… I do want to say the way that Magnus and Cleo finally come together was done really nice… and it’s about dang time!! ...more
