Review: Frost

October 12, 2011

Summary (from Goodreads): In this sequel to STORK, Katla Leblanc has to employ her grit, spirit, and special gifts to rescue the boy she loves.

After the drama of finding out that she’s a Stork, a member of an ancient and mystical order of women, and that her boyfriend, Jack, is a descendent of the Winter People able to control the weather, Katla Leblanc is delighted when all signs point to a busy and peaceful Christmas. That is, until the snowstorm Jack summons as a gift to Katla turns into the storm of the century, attracting Brigid, a gorgeous scientist who, in turn, attracts Jack. Between the school play, a bedridden, pregnant mother’s to-do lists, and keeping an eye on her aging grandfather, Katla doesn’t have time to question Brigid’s motives or deal with Jack’s increasingly cold behavior. But Katla’s suspicions mount when Jack joins Brigid on a research expedition to Greenland, and when the two of them go missing, it becomes clear that Katla is the only one who can save her beloved Jack from the Snow Queen who holds him prisoner.

My Thoughts: The second book in the Stork trilogy is as unique and exciting as Stork itself. I was very pleased with how things played out, and am thrilled that one more book is planned. I really, really like Kat. Her wit, her strength, her personality, and her heart. She’s a whole lot of fun, and a whole lot of awesome. Kat is definitely one of my favorite YA female leads. Jack wasn’t as prominent this time around, but he was no less important.

About the same time Kat figures everything out, I did, too. I loved the juxtaposition of The Snow Queen play (as done at Kat’s school) against real life. I love how that story was used as a plot point that later became more relevant than it first appeared. I also love how Kat’s dissing of the Prologue comes back to prove a mistake: the Prologue contains vital information. Once that is shared, I had a very clear aha! moment occur as the pieces fell into place. I love that it just happened, rather than me suspecting from pretty early in the book.

I love Wendy Delsol’s writing style. Love it. I would highly recommend this book. And, yes, I would read it again.
