Frostborn is an immersive unique experience, the storytelling is such a consistent, encapsulating flow that every moment feels real. Never once felt slow, cliche or even boring. If you need a book for your bookworm friend or family member, gift them this.

However, the summary gives you a deja vu feeling. In the beginning, I had reservations, I was afraid the plot would be repetitive to many others out there, but I am delighted to say that it turned out to be very interesting and unique. Although I had my detective radars on and was expecting some storylines (main character finding out about his origin, hidden truth, past events), it turned out to be so much more. I was very impressed with the twists, especially because I did not see them coming, the additions of nordic mythology influences, and the exploration of LBTQ identities. Although it felt like it was brushed off, I wanted more exposure and more connection between reader-characters. Essentially, the romance was not there, perhaps on purpose serving a more asexual point of view but it was not clear. Howver is my favorite and which I rarely encounter in novels. Not everything has to be about romance (not only because is not my favorite genre) but I do think it can occasionally overshadow important aspects of the story. That was a big high five to the author for representing that and it was one of the main points of why I enjoyed the book. (So if you are someone looking for a romantic novel this is not for you.) However, that brings me to why this book has docked a star in my review. I was not fully connected with the characters, their thoughts, and their development. It lacked a character growth progression, which is my personal preference in books. I didn’t quite relate to the characters and that saddened me because overall I found it well-written and had a lot of potentials. I think there should be a sequel to this, and I'd like to read it for sure. So many questions are left unanswered. I felt like there could be so much more to the characters. How did Elias feel after discovering the truth? What were his emotions, thought processes? How did he feel about his twin’s sacrifice?
Everything else was there. The brilliant chilling descriptions, the elaborated fight setting, the plot and twists, the symbolism, if only it had just a bit tad more character analysis I would give it a 5 star. I loved all the nordic nordic vibes too and the witty dialogues.
I would like to see more from the author, I think he takes an interesting stand in the YA fantasy and I'll keep an eye out for his next book.
