My only regret when it came to the characters was that I found the chemistry lacking between Asterin and Quinlan. We also got to read through all of their perspectives which I always appreciate. Not only did Shadow Frost have great world building, but it also had a great team of characters, all strong in their own ways and I really enjoyed that. Obviously, the strongest are those who can use all nine. And some people can use two, three or more powers at the same time. There are nine elements in total the tenth one, the shadow elements, is forbidden. Some of the elements are rarer than others: the rarest for example is the power of illusion. Everyone can wield at least one element (like air or water). Think something like Red Queen except it does not depend on your blood. She created a whole fantastic universe, with magical powers, demons and other fantastic creatures. Shadow Frost is Coco Ma’s first novel, and I have to say, she did a really good job. And Asterin will do anything to save her kingdom and the people she loves. With the help of her friends, and two mysterious strangers who have only recently joined forces with her, she goes after it.īut as they search for the demon, she not only discovers that she may have greater powers than she ever expected, but also that the demon is part of a bigger force menacing the kingdom of Axaria. When she learns that he kingdom is in great peril because of a monster of darkness that has been unleashed upon it, princess Asterin Faelenhart decides that she must leave the palace in order to defeat it. While I was a bit underwhelmed by my reading of Quests and Quandaries, I really enjoyed Shadow Frost and I can’t wait for October so that you all can discover it was well!Īnd before I delve further into the book, let’s just all take a minute to appreciate how GORGEOUS that cover is.
Or the whole heroine who is a heiress to the throne thing. I don’t know, it must be the whole fantasy quest thing that made me think of it. I did not really see this coming but Shadow Frost totally reminded me of the previous ARC I reviewed, which was Quests and Quandaries by Alda Yuan ( see full review). First of all, many thanks to the publisher Blackstone Publishing for providing me with a review copy of this book! This doesn’t influence my opinion in any way.
