My dear god, I should have known this would end up as a rant. Even though First Frost is barely an hour's read, it left me sputtering and muttering for three times as long. My fingers are sore of making annotations on my Kindle. Behold, my opinion of this little piece of work.

I'm intrigued, definitely interested in picking up the first book.

Interesting start to a series I've had on my TBR for a few years. I love how Estep's different worlds all seem to coexist, and this one has a bit of a Hogwarts vibe.
