Frostblood

De: Elly Blake

Narrado por: Jennifer English

The Frost King will burn.

Seventeen-year-old Ruby is a Fireblood who has concealed her powers of heat and flame from the cruel Frostblood ruling class her entire life. But when her mother is killed trying to protect her, and rebel Frostbloods demand her help to overthrow their bloodthirsty king, she agrees to come out of hiding, desperate to have her revenge.

Despite her unpredictable abilities, Ruby trains with the rebels and the infuriating - yet irresistible - Arcus, who seems to think of her as nothing more than a weapon. But before they can take action, Ruby is captured and forced to compete in the king's tournaments that pit Fireblood prisoners against Frostblood champions. Now she has only one chance to destroy the maniacal ruler who has taken everything from her - and from the icy young man she has come to love.

Vivid and compelling, Frostblood is the first in an exhilarating series about a world where flame and ice are mortal enemies...but together create a power that could change everything.

Enjoyed

Definitely a noble for the young at heart. I really enjoyed the story line and can’t wait to read the next one.

I’m loving it <3

Great story… I’m loving the reader … I’m not stopping till the end <3
5 star… Great for Teens

No Hate but…

It’s way to slow for me that’s just my opinion.
It has good potential.
It’s a great story plot.
It’s just tooooo slow.

Still one of my favorite series

I’ve ready this series three times now and I still love it because I discover new elements every time. I highly recommend this series for fans of An Ember In The Ashes, Girl of Fire and Thorns, The Jewel, Ruby Red, Divergent, Ruined, etc.

Totally worth it! Give it a try!

I will admit the first 2 chapters were a little slow. I had to start over a few times. But by chapter 3 I was hooked. I found myself holding my breath in anticipation for what was coming next. Think hunger games with the action of red rising mixed with a little of the teenage angst from twilight. A sure hit. can't wait for book 2

Very well wrote but...

I feel that a lot books are using thissme story line and changing a few thins here and there. The story was good and I gave the author 4 stars because the work was there. However I feel we need a new spin rather then an arena an such.

Good book, sappy romance

Enjoyed the overall story but could have done without the over the top sappy romance. Also tends to be overly descriptive writing.

Great book

I really enjoyed this book, the only reason it didn't get 5 stars was the beginning. It took a little bit for the book to capture me but once it picked up I loved it!

Shadowheart!

This narrator is now the it girl of video game acting. Absolutely adore her voice! I have insomnia and got this audiobook so Shadowheart from BG3 could read me to sleep. Seems like a pretty well-written standard-issue YA fantasy, but I can’t speak to the finer details of the story quality since I was just here for the narrator and her lovely voice zonks me out within ten minutes. Thanks Jen!

Greatest books I've ever read and heard.

The characters were perfect. I love the love story between Ruby and Arcus, the friendly monks, Ruby's determination, Arcus's story and loyalty, and the twist.

10/10 would recommend.
