Orion and Eadric were both powerful, reliable and surprisingly sweet. Rose was lively, fierce and a badass in her own right (and while I loved all the six leads, she's definitely my favorite). Quinlan was the dashing and charming hero to our heroine that we deserved. Asterin was the total badass I'd expected and loved instantly. Initially, I thought this was a story about Asterin with 5 supporting characters at her side, but you come to realize that all of her inner circle is just as important and have what it takes to be leading men and women in this magical tale. They truly felt like an ensemble cast, no single character more important or deserving than the other which is a very rare feat to achieve in a novel. All six main characters - Asterin, Quinlan, Rose, Orion, Eadric and Luna - were equally significant and equally likable. With plot twists, endless surprises and obstacles thrown in our favorite characters' paths, I was constantly rooting for their success and safe passage throughout their dangerous adventure. Shadow Frost is an original tale set in a complicated world that was masterfully descriptive, easy to follow and as equally easy to get lost in. I would have never even guessed and had I not known, would have assumed this was written by a highly experienced writer. So apparently the author was 15 when she wrote this and damn, am I super jealous of her incredible talent! To have this kind of creativity and grace with words and to be able to come up with such an incredible world, it’s a really impressive achievement. What a captivating and imaginative tale of magic and friendship! While reading this, I felt like I was under an enchantment spell - I couldn't get enough of it and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. That is, of course, if the demon doesn’t get to them first. With no one else to turn to, they are forced to decide just how much they are willing to sacrifice to protect the only world they have ever known. Asterin and her friends begin to wonder how much of their lives has been lies, especially when they realize that the center of the web of deceit might very well be themselves. To kill it.īut as they hunt for the demon, they unearth a plot to assassinate the princess herself instead. The task that countless trained soldiers have failed. With the help of her friends and the powers she wields-though has yet to fully understand-Asterin sets out to complete a single task. When Asterin Faelenhart, princess of Axaria and heir to the throne, discovers that she may hold the key to defeating the mysterious demon terrorizing her kingdom, she vows not to rest until the beast is slain. Many soldiers from the royal guard are sent out to hunt it down. Some say it is an invulnerable demon summoned from the deepest abysses of the Immortal Realm.
Some call it a monster, laying waste to the villagers and their homes. In the kingdom of Axaria, a darkness rises.
