Before I went into this, I said to myself, "No, I can't do this! I can't wait until December for the next book to come out! I want to wait a few more weeks before I read this." Well, that didn't work out. Frozen Tides was awesome! There is just something about Morgan Rhodes' writing that makes me crave more. Some parts I see can see coming while others are a complete surprise. The plot twists, character development, and world-building weave together to create an amazing story. 
 Let's talk about the characters. 
 Cleo. The words bad ass in a human form. Over the course of these four books, Cleo has changed so much that it is mind blowing. Just the way she goes from a spoiled princess to a fighting machine makes me wish I took martial arts when I was younger. I love how she is so independent and strong. She is a great example of what all women should aspire to be. 
 Magnus. Why don't I have a Magnus? There is so much to his character that the readers get to piece together as we go through the books. I hate him and love him at the same time. He's strong, but in this book we get to see more of the struggle that he has within himself. 
 Lucia. In this book, we get to see a darker side of her. So far it's been, "Yeah, I have magic. I'll do whatever you say, father. I killed a bunch of people because you told me to." Now it's like, "If anyone tells me what to do, I will murder you." You go girl! Even though I am not a fan of all the decisions she makes, I am glad that we got to see what her reaction would be when something doesn't go her way. We've seen what happens when she gets upset. This book is like angry Lucia time one thousand. 
 Jonas. I've never really loved Jonas. I did enjoy his POV in this book a little more than I had in the previous books. Most of the dislike came from my own fear that he was threatening my ship. The more I get into this series, the more I like Jonas. It's still not at the point that I think it would be if I wasn't so worried about my ship, but that doesn't make him any less interesting. 
 Now that I'm done with the main characters, I am going to talk about the world. In Frozen Tides, we get to finally see Kraeshia. Getting to know this new kingdom does give insight into why Amara is the way she is, but even after the whole back story, I'm NOT team Amara. I love how the characters are now venturing out of Mytica, and how the readers are getting to know more of this world. 
 Frozen Tides leaves you craving the next books in the series. Everything from the writing style to amazing characters leaves you on the edge of your seat. A 5/5 for another amazing book by Morgan Rhodes. I would recommend this book to readers who love plot twists, insane royal families, and unforgettable cliff hangers.
