Questions I have - This world has a fairly complex mythology of gods and goddesses fighting and granting different gifts to humans that has led to later chaos. I could have read a whole book of their interactions. Their dialogue was delicious and snappy and just so so good. I loved the contrast and tension between these two, and especially their banter. Arcus, her love interest and a Frostblood, freezes his emotions under layers of ice, and it takes work to know know what he's feeling sometimes.

Ruby, our MC and a Fireblood, is much more prone to a fiery temper and not afraid to express her emotions. What I loved - I loved the Fire vs Frostblood gifts and the way the character traits of each person matches their abilities. _įrostblood is a fairly typical 'MC doesn't know yet, but she has great and unique powers that will save the world, if only she can control them (spoiler alert: she figures it out at the right moment!)' BUT still I liked this book as a whole, and I don't mind this storyline set-up. Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her and from the icy young man she has come to love.įast-paced and compelling, Frostblood is the first in a page-turning new young adult three-book series about a world where flame and ice are mortal enemies-but together create a power that could change everything.

But Ruby's powers are unpredictable, and she's not sure she's willing to let the rebels and an infuriating (yet irresistible) young man called Arcus use her as their weapon.Īll she wants is revenge, but before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to take part in the king's tournaments that pit fireblood prisoners against frostblood champions. So when her mother is killed for protecting her and rebel frostbloods demand her help to kill their rampaging king, she agrees. Book Description: Seventeen-year-old Ruby is a fireblood who must hide her powers of heat and flame from the cruel frostblood ruling class that wants to destroy all that are left of her kind.
