Slightly Disappointing Book 4

Frozen Tides by Morgan Rhodes
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

One of the problems with a 5/6 book series is trying to tell the story through so many books. At some point, most authors end up with a book that is just filler to help get the story through to the end. Frozen Tides seems to be that book for the Falling Kingdoms Series.

The first three books were utterly magnificent. Every book was action pack, intrigue abounded, you never knew what was going to happen next. But Frozen Tides, to me, was full of predictability. There was no suspense, no adventure. I agree with others that it seemed most of the book was “teenage love angst” with very little plot development. The biggest surprise happened, literally, in the last sentence of the whole book. And even that was more of an “Oh geez. More teenage love angst.” moment for me.

Nevertheless, I will be awaiting book 5 with bated breath and I hope, HOPE that Rhodes brings her fierce writing abilities back for the conclusion of this amazing story.
