Resumen del Editor

Seventeen-year-old Smitha has the wealth, status, and beauty that make her the envy of her town - until she rejects a strange man's marriage proposal, and disastrous consequences follow. Smitha becomes cursed, and frost begins to encompass everything she touches. Banished to the hills, hunted by villagers, and chilled to the very core of her soul, she finds companionship with Death, who longs to coax her into his isolated world. But Smitha's desire for life proves stronger than despair, and a newfound purpose gives her renewed hope. Will regrets over the past and an unexpected desire for a man she cannot touch be enough to warm Smitha's heart, or will Death forever still it?

Frozen with Anticipation

Amazing story of selfishness, forgiveness and love. I highly recommend "Followed by Frost" as a great story of finding love as it was meant to be - truly selfless. The author has a way with descriptive word pictures that bring the story to life. I felt the cold unyielding frost and extreme loneliness of the main character as she comes to terms with the person she was and the person she wishes to be.

Stunning performance for a stunning story!

I first read Followed by Frost a little over a year ago, and was wowed then by the beauty of the story. Haunting at times, and beautifully introspective, the author weaves a tale of loss and self discovery (with just a hint of magic) that I’ve read and reread half a dozen times already. I recently joined audible, and realized I could get the audiobook at a discount since I owned the book, so I thought, “Why not?” It was a good choice. The narrator is superb, and I truly forgot I was listening to an audiobook at times. I highly recommend this.

The importance of love and kindness

Great story about the important things in life, about hardship and love. Really enjoyed this audiobook.

Best fable I've ever listened to!

I listen to this book every year around Christmas. The narration is absolutely perfect and the story is a good happily ever after. It's an amazing story of love conquering all. Enjoy! 😊

wonderful

It was great. The storyline was flawless and the characters were fantastic. Everything that I wanted in a story and more. The voice was perfect.

Achingly Beautiful

How Charlie Holmberg can write a book, of wandering, despair, and self discovery, so elegantly is beyond me. Each step Smitha takes fills the reader with hope and dread, but it never makes the reader want to put the book down but keep listening. Angela Dawe is one of the best narrarators, each character having different voices. The mark of a true narrator for me is the ability to be forgotten, never pondering over an accent or even that you're listening to someone for hours. Angela seriously is one of the best and paired with Holmbergs books, it's a truly magical experience.

FANTASTIC

Where does Followed by Frost rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Another amazing story by Holmberg! Just a fantastic story! Nice imagery!

Better than I thought

I admit I purchased this book b/c it was on sale. When I first started listening, I thought for sure I was never going to be able to finish it. However, after the initial start of the story, it became much more interesting. I think the writer could have developed a few of the characters a little bit more, but that might just be my curious nature. Overall, I was very pleased with the story.

Interesting but not a page turner

This was much slower paced and introspective than I thought it would be. I think the narrative style left a lot on the table in terms of action or suspense.

Really a fan of this author

This is a great book, my second by this author. Well written and good story.
