Forever Frost

By Kailin Gow

PRAISE FOR BITTER FROST SERIES(tm)

"Loved this book and am so excited to see what happens in the next one. I have a feeling that Mrs. Gow will be the next it author." - Amanda Drost, Broken Arrow

"This is my first novel by Kailin Gow and I promise it won't be the last! She has a wonderful way of capturing the reader from the start and easily transports them to an interesting and fascinating world of Feyland where fairies, pixies and werewolves exist – a beautiful place where magic is normal and necessary, and a place where humans normally cannot survive." - Theresa, Just One More Paragraph

"OMG...this series just keeps getting better! I absolutely love this series. I love reading Kailin's books." – Jamie Johnson, Fantasy Book Chick blog

"I love Kailin Gows books and Frost Kisses is no exception. She is an amazing author who can weave her magic so throughly that you feel as if you are there." - Jessica Bolton, Book Rock Goddess

"I have to give the author credit – Love Triangle – very different. What I mean by that – not typical. The author makes it where it will just shock the sh*t out of you. I can't really explain it with out giving it away. The only hint I can give is that it doesn't go down the way traditional love triangles go. I think the author was very bold and for that, she made me a fan." - Sunny

"This needs to be a TV or movie series. I love books and this one affected me so much! The story makes you feel like your in the series. I would watch this any day!" - Christina Rossner

Reviews for Forever Frost

[krau0098 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

This is the second book in Gow's Frost trilogy. It was a bit better than the first book and picks up right where Bitter Frost left off. If you are into YA books about faerie that have a love triangle of sorts than this may be the book for you.This book finds Breena exactly where we left her; facing off with the Summer Queen and trying to answer the Summer Queen in a way that doesn't get Breena imprisoned or worse. The result is that Breena is allowed to escort Shasta back to the Winter Court in exchange for Breena's mother's return to the Summer Court. As happens with these things, it is not all that straight-forward. Shasta has fallen in love with a Summer Court Knight (which is forbidden) and Breena's werewolf friend, Logan, may not have actually died like she thought. Lurking in and out of the story is Kian, the Winter Prince, who is in love with Breena. Can they stop the war between the Winter and Summer Courts or at least not make it any worse?I liked this book better than the second half of the first book, Bitter Frost. Gow does an excellent job creating beautiful descriptions and her writing is easy to read and engaging.I still have some trouble with how simplistic the fairy world is; we never get much explanation behind the magic, only the politics are explained in detail. I also think the characters are a bit 2D; they are fairly predictable and type cast. I keep waiting to really care about them, but have trouble doing it. The characters all take themselves very seriously (a little light humor here and there would make them seem more real) and they always work so hard to do what's right that they aren't as believable as they could be.We do get to see more of the Winter and Summer Queen's personalities, and they are intriguing and strong woman. In fact I thought they were the most intriguing characters in this book.The story ends right in the middle of things again, leaving us at a huge cliffhanger. The cliffhanger is such that I will probably read the last book in the series, Silver Frost, to see what happens. The books in this series have been incredibly short and simple reads; so it doesn't take a ton of time to read them because of that I am able to accept the mediocrity of the world and characters.Overall this is an okay book. It is again very short and overly simple; yet the story is engaging and the Queens especially intriguing. This book is a good read if you want something that is easy to read and doesn't require a lot of thought. I still feel like there are a lot of YA series out there that are more well done. Check out the following before you check out this series: Wicked Lovely (Wicked Lovely (Quality)) series by Melissa Marr, The Iron King (Harlequin Teen) series by Julie Kagawa (absolutely one of the best fairy series I have read ever), Tithe: A Modern Faerie Tale by Holly Black, and Eyes Like Stars: Theatre Illuminata, Act I by Lisa Mantchev. If you don't have any other YA fairy to read, this one is an okay read and for the price on Kindle it is a real bargain.

Forever FrostBy Kailin GowThis book is the continuation of Bitter Frost. Breena, formerly an ordinary 16 year old human, finds out that her father is a fairy/faerie. She lives in Oregon but if you go sort of past the woods and around the corner from her town you are sort of automatically in Feyland or Fairyland…home of the Fae, Pixies, Magic, and Kingdoms. Breena has to make an exchange of Shasta…a princess from the Winter Kingdom. The exchange involves Breena’s mother who is being held prisoner in the Winter Kingdom. The exchange begins in a good way but before reaching the Winter Kingdom, Shasta tries to run away back to the Summer Kingdom. It appears as though she is in love with a fairy knight named Rodney. He is from the Summer Kingdom and cannot ever be with Shasta…oh me,oh my…Interesting fact about Rodney and Shasta…they apparently sneak into Oregon to buy spices and take cooking lessons. In Fairyland women are not allowed to cook. Men cook and women forge…whatever that means. Shasta loves to cook but this can never happen in Fairyland. Thus the sneaking. Anyway… Breena convinces Shasta that she has to come with her to make the exchange. However, along the way, Breena learns that her best friend Logan is still alive. In the first book we find out that Logan is a shifter or werewolf. He has been captured and detained by some very bad pixies. He has been tortured and punished and Breena is determined to free him. In order to do that she must once again face Delano…the evil pixie King… who still really wants to marry her so that he can create a race of evil pixiefairyhuman whatevers…So…there is a rescue and a ball and a reunion, an almost execution and a meeting with an unknown father…and an ending that again demands you find out what will happen next by reading Book Three in this series. Whew…normally I would do that but I think I need a short break from these characters. The only character I really liked was Logan…and he sort of gets the short end of everything in this book. I believe I will amend that…I like Breena as human but not as a fairy princess…she is kind of arrogant and annoying when in princess mode. And the back and forth between Kian and Logan was really getting on my nerves.I thought I would love this book much more than I did. It was good but not wonderfully amazing or unputdownable. It was full of beautifully descriptive words but I just couldn’t fall in love with the story…I just wanted to finish this book so I could get on with something else.
