I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest, unbiased review. 
 Actual rating: 4.5 stars 
 Amanda Hocking has yet again delivered a spellbinding hit that is sure to knock you off your feet. As a fan of the Trylle Trilogy, and Amanda Hocking in general, I was extremely excited to read this new spin-off series of the Trylle Trilogy. I am happy to say that Ms. Hocking delivered in every way imaginable. One of the things I appreciated the most however, was the fact that this could be read separately from the Trylle Trilogy. Everything is explained again- the innerworkings of the world, the different tribes, etc- so that a new reader to the Ms. Hocking's world is not confused. It even serves as a great refresher for those who haven't read the previous series recently. This definitely allows Frostfire to appeal to a larger audience! The book is extremely well paced, and is never once dull. From start to finish, this book will have you fixed to the page. 
 Bryn, our heroine, has faced many hard times. She is faced with scrutiny from her fellow trackers, as she isn't fully Kanin, and haunted by the man who almost killed her and her father- Konstantine Black. Bryn was an amazing main charcter. She was brave, tough, and badass, the perfect combination in my opinion. There were several times in the book that I felt she reacted a bit too strongly, however given her circumstances, those outbursts were completely understandable. I loved seeing the perspective of a tracker, and having read the Trylle Trilogy (which is from the perspective of a changeling), it allows previous fans a more complete view of the world. We see some familiar faces- Ember (Finn's little sister), Finn, and even Wendy and Loki (granted their appearance was a blink-and-you-miss-it situation, but I'll take it!). However, there are plenty of new characters that we get to know and quickly love. I loved Ember even more than in the Trylle Trilogy, but one of the standout characters was Ridley. I am rooting for Ridley and Bryn, and I am extremely interested in seeing where his and Bryn's relationship goes in the future, as it definitely will be a roller coaster ride. Ridley is definitely swoonworthy, and will become your next book boyfriend (at least for me he is). 
 My only complaint with this book is that it ended rather abruptly. However, this could be because it was an ARC, and as such, might have been missing the last chapter (I've had previous ARCs that do this). Nonetheless, I highly recommend this book for both new fans who are looking for something interesting, new, and completely unique; and to fans of Amanda Hocking and the Trylle Trilogy. You will quickly become entranced by the world and never want to stop reading! Don't miss out on this exciting start to the Kanin Chronicles! I can't wait to see what happens next! 
 Happy reading :)
