So I am finally reading this after putting it off since it came out.And you know what? I am enjoying it so far!
It was impossible for me to ignore “Frostfire” given how beautiful its cover is. The art is simple yet striking -- and what is up with that title? I was already intrigued enough, I couldn’t pass up reading it… Silly me!There is so much potential within this world of “Kanin Chronicles”, but the pacing and lack of depth, didn't back up the story to the full worth of the plot. Knowing that this book is the first in a series, I wasn’t expecting a solid conclusion -- but this book literally just stop...
This was going so well, and then it went FUBAR in the end.I don't know about what you feel right now, folks, but right now I feel like making a hole in the wall with my mighty fist. This isn't to say that this is a bad book, though, because I liked some parts, BUT GODDAMN THE STUPIDITY IN THE END REALLY JUST GOT TO ME.You see this fist? This is the fist I'll be putting between my teeth so I won't actually destroy our wall. Find my rage petty if you wish, but it's not a joke when I say I'm pr...
Here is the cover! Isn't precious?!!:D
Loved it but so many questions still hanging! And can Bryn and Ridley just get together already?! Of course not they will fight it until the very end and then fiiiinally give in. Loved seeing Finn and his family! But wish Bryn interacted with Wendy and Loki! They were just seen at the party and that is it! Loved seeing Tove kick butt again too! I just love this world. I love seeing it from a different perspective. The tracker, working class perspective. And from the Kanin instead of the Trylle.
4.5 starsI missed Amanda Hocking's trolls so much. After having tried reading another series by her, I only wanted to go back to drown in Loki's eyes (HOW I MISS HIM EVEN NOW). That book was a pain to read and made me question if the author was the same person as the one who wrote the Trylle series.Finally I decided to read this second troll series, and I was hooked from the first 10 minutes of the audiobook.This was my first audiobook, and it was an amazing experience. I never thought I would h...
“Konstantin stabbed my father. I’ll remember his face until I die.” This was an okay story, but it really dragged for me.Bryn was quite a stubborn, short-sighted girl. She seemed unable to see anyone’s viewpoint other than her own, and even questioned why a friend would want to have a child! She was diligent when it came to her work it seemed, but she was also unwilling to change her plans or her mind even when she was wrong! "But we're wasting resources," I insisted. "We only have so many
I have no words......literally......Amanda Hocking’s other series, the Trylle, was jaw-dropping.This one.....IDEK.But let me tell you one thing:Ridley is damn hoootttttttttt as hell. ;)So honestly, this dude was what led me throughout the whole series. :)))not sure if that’s a good things tho..I found this book pretty pointless but hey, points for giving me a hawt boy. The author did a great job of making him interesting but when it comes to the actual main character, Bryn........NAH.She was jus...
Here we go with my first book of 2016! Frostfire had a lot of good stuff in it, and a lot of not very good stuff. I feel like this book had great potential, but kept falling flat on its face. Let me explain it to you.Pros:• The main character, Bryn. She is one of the most likable MCs in YA literature that I've ever read about. She works for her kingdom and takes her job very seriously, and she has a lot of realistic struggles and issues - she fights with her family, she's scared about her future...
Disclaimer: I received a copy of this audiobook from Audible in exchange for a review. All opinions expressed are my own.[1.5 stars]My initial interest in Frostfire was sparked not only because of the premise of the book, but also because the author claimed (on her website) that this series will not have a love triangle as one of its conflicts. In this point in the game, I think it’s fair to claim that most of YA fantasy/sci-fi (particularly the ones with a female main character) is riddled with...
2 starsWhile Frostfire attempted to redeem itself in the end with a thrilling climax and haunting denouement, it got off to a slow start with exposition that bogged it down and lackluster characterization. Frostfire fails to present enough unique ideas and blurs into Hocking's other, much better, works. Here's to hoping she can present enough thrills and character development in future installments to redeem the series.Thanks to St. Martin's for the ARC!
“You don't need that on your conscience.” “His death I could handle. It's his life that I don't need weighing on me.” Really enjoyed reading this!The main character is really great,I don't understand why most of you are irritated by her-I thought that she's actually very smart for not trusting everyone & I could easily understand why she feels like her job is her whole life.I loved the side kicks -Ember,Tilda & Ridley.They all seem extremely nice and supportive.The story itself was very inter

“Bryn Aven. Remember my name. Because I'm going to be the one who kills you.” Well.. I didn’t think I would ever read a book about Trolls and love it! I’m new to Amanda Hocking’s books so I’m completely new to this concept of Trolls but I have to say I really enjoyed this one. I am totally loving the title Frostfire, to me this promises lots of action that we sadly didn’t get a great deal of but I love it all the same and adore the wintery cover.Bryn is apart of a troll tribe called the Kanin
Trolls! Trolls! Trolls!Yes, I feel like I was Trolled by Amanda Hocking. I didn't understand why the author said that this world of Trolls is different when in reality it is exactly like the human world. They have all things human except for few tribes of Trolls. I was expecting Trolls with some powers or completely different looking Trolls but obviously that's not what the author was going for.Bryn, I didn't mind her. She is independent, hard working, not full of herself, daring, brave, confuse...
4 Stars I've been so eager to read FROSTFIRE since I seen the amazing cover last year and fell madly in love with it. And the rest of the series covers are just as amazing, if not better!! And when I received my ARC for review, I nearly jumped for joy at it's awesomeness!!But honestly, I may have had my exceptions a little too high. I read Hocking's Zombie series and absolutely LOVED it. So I guess I may have set my standards to those same exceptions, because it wasn't as good as I hoped, and i
“Remember my name. Because I'm going to be the one who kills you.” Bryn is determined to become the best tracker among the Kanin, respected for her abilities and not an outcast due to her mixed blood. But when the man who murdered her father shows up again and begins to kidnap changelings, she finds it difficult to choose between her chosen path, and what she believes to be right.I haven't read any of Amanda Hocking's previous books set in this universe and thus did a bit of digging before st
I guess not all trolls look like this?I actually think this could get really interesting. This book felt like the information book though. Like Hocking wanting to build up their whole other part to human kind (troll-world) and wanted to make you ready for the other two books in the series.Bryn isn't accepted anywhere. She is part Kamin and part Skojare, two completely different troll tribes. Being a mix of bloods, she is frowned upon in general and also doesn't possess any of the power that the
I won the Kanin Chronicles via a Goodreads Giveaway. Thank you.I enjoyed the twist on the species as I've never heard trolls and their tribes described the way Hocking sets them up. I'm easily sucked in by YA covers, here it is no different and lured me in for a January winter read. The main character's job is an interesting one of strength, skill, and intelligence despite its purpose and necessity in being the final step to scam wealthy humans out of their money in order to keep wealthy trolls
3.5 - "Remember my name. Because I'm going to be the one that kills you." Stars.It's been a while since I delved into NA, and it has been a refreshing break, for a reader who has been struggling terribly with her reading focus of late. The fantasy genre is also one I only visit on occasion, but Amanda Hocking has got the mix just right with Frost Fire there is a lot of scene setting and background building in this book, but it doesn't overwhelm or distract from the story too much."Don't worry.
