Fantasy of Frost

The Tainted Accords, Book 1

De: Kelly St. Clare

Narrado por: Amanda Dolan

I know many things. What I am capable of, what I will change, what I will become. But there is one thing I will never know.

The veil I've worn from birth carries with it a terrible loneliness, a suppression I cannot imagine ever being free of.

Some things never change...

My mother will always hate me. Her court will always shun me.

…until they do.

When the peace delegation arrives from the savage world of Glacium, my life is shoved wildly out of control by the handsome Prince Kedrick, who, for unfathomable reasons, shows me kindness.

And the harshest lessons are learned.

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.

Warning: cliff-hanger ending! Suitable for mature young adult listeners due to swearing.

#EnthrallingFromStartToFinish

I’m not big on audiobooks, Ol I’m being honest, but this one kept me hooked from start to finish! I LOVED the narration!

Fantastic

Olina is a young naive girl that contradicts herself with how wise and open minded she is. Amanda Dolan did such a great job capturing the spirit and strength of Olina's voice. This is one of my favorite books and it was so much fun listening to it. I didn't loose focus at all, Amanda kept me engaged with her lively voice. Just as Kelly keeps you invested in the story from the very first line. I would recommend this to anyone who loves fantasy. Great book. Great narration. Can't wait to hear more.

Love this series!

I love this entire series so much. I can literally finish the books and restart it and be happy about it. Well written, great characters, fantastic story!

I couldn't stop listening!

What did you love best about Fantasy of Frost?

I loved the way the author, Kelly St. Clare, had so much to tell. Everytime I had, as a listener of this audiobook, the urge to know something. And when that something was revealed; there was something else I was yearning to find out.The story constantly kept me on the edge of my seat!

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

In the beginning, I had a little difficulty with the narration, perhaps as this was my first audiobook (in English, my mother tongue is Dutch). But after a couple of chapters, I really got comfortable with the narrator and her calm voice was a good start of a relaxing end of my day, with the audiobook.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Living a veiled life can have many disadvantages. But when you're the main charachter in this book; iyou learn how to turn those disadvantages into advantages and mystery.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait to read/listen to the second part of this sequel!

loved it and the person who read it as well.

It was one of the best stories ever and the narrator was easy to follow.

Amazing Series, you won’t regret it!

Great Series, more mature than YA. Keeps you intrigued with great character development and good plot!

Loved it!

I was hoping for a bigger explanation to the veil but overall loved the book and Amazon needs to get the next two books in ASAP!

Interesting world building YA opening book!

I’m coming back and reviewing after reading the entire series. I couldn’t stop to review in between! Great beginning to the series, great action. I’m enjoying Olina’s journey and the intrigue we’re learning about. This book focuses on Olina’s loss of her first love. A very sweet innocent early love. And introducing what will be her lifetime love (don’t get to excited yet, it’s only an intro and there’s really no romance yet). But this is the origin story and builds the foundation for some epic stuff to come.

I thought the world building was great, simple, original. There isnt magic but a complete alternative world and the mysteries within that made up world are fantastical and meet that fantasy criteria. I think the world building and complexity (or lack thereof) worked well for a sort of YA/NA romance/fantasy (this book can easily be YA but potential NA in later books).

Beware of some very serious physical and psychological abuse of the main character.

Fabulous!

I have read this series and it quickly became ine of my favorites. I needed something to listen to at work and decided to give the audiobook a go. Absolutely oved listening to this book. Absolutely fabulous! Highly recommend!

Fabulous start

I expected magic. There was no magic. But this story is fantastic. The world feels a little complicated, but the MCs keep it simple by repeating the important information.
