Frost

Someday, I'm gonna read this. And when I do, I'll answer the question of whether this book is as much a wannabe Shadowhunters tale as that cover with discount versions of Clary, Jace, and Alec makes it seem.

I received this book through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review

This book and I didn't start out well, but I think we ended on decent terms.

Let me say, that I have not read the Midnight Fire series, so I was coming into this as a new reader. Knowing who some of the crossover characters were though, if you have read the previous series, I think you'll get a kick out of this one.

Frost and I were kinda doing okay– I enjoyed the new aspects such as titans, and vampires being killed either by a conduit or decapitation by another vampire's sharp parts. Then we find out Pandora is still moping about over “her best friend. Her only love” who betrayed her.... 4 years ago. I swear, I was almost lost. I seriously sat back in my chair, played mobile games for a few minutes, before I even considered coming back. I'm really starting to dislike this trope.

The rest of it was interesting enough to keep me going–sometimes wordy in Pandora's head which wasn't really needed. I liked Jax and some of the supporting characters, although I was never truly convinced that Pandora was a good thief, but she was okay too.
The thing is, I never thought there was a climax to the story– no turning point, unless we are counting the very end of the book which turns into a cliff hanger. I will accept that... although I feel as confused from the beginning of the book as I am the end. And considering we all know how YA novels go, I just don't know how Jax and Pandora will end up together.

Will I read the sequel... sigh probably not. But I may read spoiler filled reviews because I do want to know what happens, I just don't want to read anymore of the series.
