Read this for a second time...and I can only raise it half a star to 1.5 stars. Does no one else find the physical aggression disturbing with the blasé way it's written? And the crude language to be out of place? Yet, I'll probably pick up the sequels for the slow-burn romance. ORIGINAL REVIEWWowww, this book was bad. The book was bad, the writing was bad, the plot was bad, just bad all around. And short. And offensive. And the offensive was bad. And distracting. And juvenile, as a result. It's

UPDATE : This review can now be found on Rosaline's Rolls & Scrolls.Yesss, I really needed this. I could not have read this at a better time.Fantasy of Frost is not super mind-blowing, but it's extremely enjoyable. I found it to be a fun and quick read. I could not put it down at all.The pace of the book is not that fast, but the mystery of the veil keeps you going. And even though this mystery is super predictable and the ending is a little rushed, I quite enjoyed hanging out with the charac

*Reread July 2019* “It is the beautiful thing about the Solati avoidance of asking straight question; it is easy to ignore them.”I don’t know why but the more I reread this series, the more I actually enjoy it! (if that’s even possible lol) I JUST LOVE IT A LOT OKAY————————————————————————*First read June 2017*"Sometimes it takes the world bringing you to your knees to find that spark you thought forever lost.Sometimes it takes death to show you how to live."Amazing female lead, unique fantasy w...

Full Review What I Liked - This book had two mysteries and I love a good mystery. The main character wears a veil and she is told by her mum never to remove it, so she has never seen her face before. That's one of the mystery (figuring out why she has to cover her face). The second was around finding out who did something bad. - In this book, there are two worlds: The one the mc belongs to which is always hot and the people are conservative and the second world is the opposite; where it is alw

A ton of info dumping in the beginning but that’s okay, I was engaged enough to keep going and I’m glad I did. I found this book to have excellent world building, very unique and unlike anything I have read before. I enjoy all the action and violence(sue me, I could watch John Wick all day and this is nothing in comparison). Olina is one badass bitch given her circumstances but still has a ton of self doubt which is understandable. I’m really looking forward to the character building I sense wil...

This one is good people! Worth the read!

GUYS! I FINALLY WON A GIVEAWAY! I am SO ECSTATIC! I hope I get the book and candle soon! :D•*•*•*•Will edit when I have finished the book. :)

Reread @8/2/19I did it!! I have 'em in my hands!!!-----------------------------------------------There are not a lot of books I'm willing to spend money on just so I can have them in my hands but this series? I'm dying to get this series in my hands.Been a day since I finished the series and you won't believe the struggle I'm going through to stop myself from rereading it already.

It's surprising to me that this book does not have much buzz, there have been weeks where all I have been has been trash but I had this book marinating in my tbr without knowing how good it would be. So glad I bit the bullet.This book is really good, from the first page I was engrossed. The characters had believable reactions/actions especially Olina. When she was first introduced as wearing a veil and having never seen her face I was a bit skeptical because it's not hard to undo the veil when s...

A coming of age fantasy. Complex story line and strong female as the main character. Humour, romance and action/adventure

A Good Introduction To A Promising Fantasy Series.Abridged Stuff: My Likes +Interesting and entertaining cast+Intriguing protagonist+Many mysteries+Imaginative customs for the Solati and Bruma. They are like introvert vs. extroverts+Olina kicks ass+Olina is selfless+Narration fits Olina's personality+Detailed and methodical action+The author sticks to continuity really well. (Ex. Character injuries heal realistically.) My Dislikes -Plot slows down in the middle.-I sometimes found Olina's stu...

On reflection, I bumped this one up to 4 stars. Overall it's probably my least favourite St Clare series (barring the collab with Raye Wagner which I had to DNF) but objectively it's still fabulous. I was completely invested in this book from start to finish, and I genuinely could not download the next instalments fast enough. Thank God for Kindle Unlimited.There's no real romance in this one - at least, not with the ultimate hero. The heroine has a romance with his younger brother which is brut...

The hype about this book caught my eyeThe reviews on this book were mostly 4 and 5 stars. I know, I feel like a traitor for giving it a 3 star but I'm kind of in between 3 stars or 3.5 stars. This book had an awesome world-building, they were thought out and impressive. Sometime confusing, but I'll overlook that because the thought of having a land called Glacium is cool! Okay so Osolis is as hot as Hell and Glacium as frigid as your soul. Just kidding! But it's deathly cold. The book starts wit...

***4.5 Stars***Y'all, I bought this book 2 years ago because it was recommended by someone. I'm sorry, but I can't remember who. Anyway. I started it back then but wasn't feeling it. Probably a mood thing. For some reason it popped back up on my radar so I thought I'd give it another shot. I FLEW through this book, reading it in two late night sessions. Between work and school, my reading activity has been abysmal, but this hooked me for some reason. No, it's not perfect (which is why it has 4 s...

Strong female main character, well developed secondary characters, excellent world building, and my favorite trope - culture clash - made this an excellent read. It's available on kindle unlimited. The tldr reviewI read this book last year and somehow did not rate it. But I love this series. It was a complete surprise for me. I went in with no expectations, I had never heard of the author. It kept creeping up on amazon/Goodreads recommendations for me and I snagged it when it went on sale. Pros

Oh, my! It has been a long time since I have sat down with a good fantasy to read. I am officially a fan of this new author! I enjoyed reading FANTASY OF FROST, the first book of ‘The Tainted Accord’ series. When is the next book coming out? I was pulled into this story and the characters of two worlds. One hot, Osilis and one hot, Glacium. I enjoyed the subtly of the worlds with political and cultural differences that came to life without the descriptions taking over the story. The characters

This is a tale with such complexity and depth that to peel back each and every layer would only leave you salivating for the next chapter/installment. I love books with strong female characters who endure and overcome extremely challenging even tragic obstacles. Olina is that character, a protagonist after my own heart. Her courage, power and strength of spirit, humorous and brutal honest are a breath of fresh air from pretentious uptight female characters who are in or about to be in a position...

4.5 starsI had no idea what to expect diving into this book recommended to me by a friend, I certainly wasn't expecting to like it as much as I did. Fantasy of Frost is a great introduction to this series, it's intriguing, funny, surprising and leaves you wanting more.The fantastical world Kelly St. Clare created in this book is quite unique and very interesting. I had to follow closely to understand exactly how everything worked, which realms was which etc, but I never got too confused to the p...

Kelly. St Clare..... I see you tryna pull one over on me and I have severe doubts about it working. Kedrick > JovanI liked Olina a lot. She is very pure of heart, soft-spoken but not shy, and brave and strong. What I didn't really understand was her relationship with her mother. (view spoiler)[ Olina's existence is her mothers greatest shame, as she is proof of her fraternizing with a Bruma. She tortures her constantly and I find it hard to believe she would let her take power as the heir of Oso...

Olina is Solati and the Tatuma of her world : The next destined ruler. However She has been kept under a veil and been given no training by a mother who hates her vehemently. Her only solace is in her secret martial arts training, her brother, and her forbidden lover (and prince) of another world. When her lover is killed Olina is kidnapped by his entourage and bought to his world (Osolis) as a prisoner. Why is it then that she feels more free and loved as a prisoner under the care of the foreig...

What a great title for a debut fantasy YA series in 'Fantasy of Frost'. Quite a bit leaning towards the Sci fi spectrum with unexpected turns around every corner.Olina, now a teenaged girl, is the victim of a cruel life, she spent the first ten years in an isolated tower and suffers from the savages of her mothers hatred for her. She fears everyone, and is kept well hidden from the population. Olina can not bare anyone seeing her face and wears a constant veil to hide it even from herself. Altho...

Rating : 5 starsThis series is absolutely fantastic and it keeps getting better and better.Re-read three years later and still love the fluff out of it.I bought the new hardcover edition a few months ago but I unfortunately haven't had the chance to read them as they are thousands miles apart from me.I noticed I never added the last book to my shelves. I will remedy to that and probably do a little review once I completed the series once again.

This was an interesting YA fantasy novel. Very unique with solid characters. I wasn’t pleased about the way it ended, but I am intrigued enough to continue on to the next book in the series. It was well worth its .99 price listing.

4.25 STARSWhat a surprisingly good start of a series! The first plot twist really caught me off guard but I think that just shows how audacious Kelly St. Clare on writing her plots twists.Fantasy of Frost would take you to a two different worlds where indifference were highly depicted. It was really interesting to read the worlds of Osolis and Glacium. Both were a complete opposite of one another and that's what drawn me into. Although it confuses me on what's happening at the start but I got al...

This book throws you right into the world and then builds that world around you. It is really beautiful and detailed. The world building is fantastic. Everything was introduced quickly and with detailed, but not overly tedious details. The worlds of Osolis and Glacium were both interesting and well depicted. The characters were one of the reasons this novel is so good. Lina, the main character, is strong, intelligent, loving, kind, and flawed all in good measure. I never really felt that she was...

I absolutely loved this book! It took me some time to fall in love with the characters and the story, but when I did, I had trouble putting it down so I could catch some sleep.The world building is beautifully done, fresh and interesting. I usually don't like the process of immersing into a new book because it's always a new world, and some of them are quite annoying with all the names and concepts. This one I liked, I got to learn more about it as I read, and I got used to the characters' vocab...

Despite writing fantasy, I’ve always had trouble getting into most fantasy novels myself. I’d always think the covers looked awesome and would get excited for the story inside - only to end up feeling like a tourist in a foreign country without a Lonely Planet guide, confused by all the strange names, customs, and generally minimal initial background information. Fantasy of Frost did all these things, yet I still liked it, and I think you will, too. So what gives? Unlike many of those other snor...

Solid effort for the first book in this series. The world building during the first few chapters was a little confusing, and I had to go back and read over a few places again to completely get my head around the different worlds and the peoples within. The heroine had approximately zero backbone for much of this book, which is fairly understandable given the absolute misery and mistreatment she has received at the hands of her uncle and mother. What's worse, is that she has absolutely no idea wh...

I stayed up until 430 a.m. reading this book. Yeah, it's that good. It made me laugh, cry, and gasp. I felt so proud of Olina for holding her head up through a lot of heart breaking situations. This book was great. I could not put it down. When I finished reading it and went to buy book #2 and saw it's wasn't available yet, my eyes just about popped out of my head. Oh, the agony. I can't wait.
