Review: Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep
Title:Midnight Frost (Click title for Synopsis)
Source/Format: Purchased, Paperback
Age Range: YA
Publisher/Publication Date: K-Teen, July 30, 2013
My Thoughts:
Jennifer Estep is at it again with another wonderful addition to the Mythos Academy series! After waiting for some time to get my copy, I was anxious to read it. While some parts may have been slightly same-old-same-old with a familiar feel to them. Midnight Frost is easily one of the best books I’ve read all year. Combined with skillful writing, lovable characters, adorable yet dangerous mythological beasts, Midnight Frost was awesome.
Midnight Frost picks up where Crimson Frost left off, with Gwen dealing with the fallout of the events that transpired. I liked that fact that she was still struggling with what happened, and not suddenly all ok with it just out of the blue. Her reaction to it was realistic, which made me like her as a main character even more. On the topic of Gwen, well her friends were great as always. They were loyal and always had her back when times got rough. And oh, Logan, why were you so absent? But when he did finally show up, and when they finally did talk, well, I can’t really say—if you want to know, read the book.
The plot, wow, it was filled with Reapers who kept showing up everywhere. I really enjoyed the action scenes, and the descriptions really helped me visualize what was going on and where it was happening. Secrets that have been surrounding Gwen and her family from book one are finally solved, and I liked the way Estep handled the big reveal. The writing style was strong as always, which made Midnight Frost an easy book to get into. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I can’t wait for the next one to come out. {Actual rating 4.5}
