FrostFire is the first of three books in a new magic/human world set in present time, there are trolls and magical humans that aren't all that powerful due to diluted bloodlines and what not. 
 Magic doesn't feature to much you see a little bit, the people/trolls/kanin etc.. I felt were more like evolved humans with heightened senses and powers like tracking, camouflaging and telekinesis. I would of liked to see some more powerful characters featured but it sat on the sidelines a bit. 
 Bryn is or main character and I thought I'd like her a lot more but she just fails. Bryn is strong has moved her way up the ranks and faced adversity from being a female as well as from a different tribe. Bryn had all these great set ups but didn't pull them off. 
 We start off in the past when she fights of her enemy Konstantin and saves her dads life, we then move on to present and she finds him has the chance to kill him and what does she do?? see's something in his eyes and pauses... yeah okay, his eyes looked like remorse so maybe i'll stop and re live my girl hood crush *cough cough* WHY! NO! JUST STOP! 
 I lost interest in her, she can't make her mind she basically makes some one cheat on there really nice girlfriend and is a crappy friend also a bit of an ass of a daughter., I didn't really get her relationship with her parents she doesn't like to stay there for long and always leaves in a bit of a snarky way. 
 I loved Ridley, He is warm and caring and such a cute character I wished he was featured more. 
 NOW for the worst part of this book THE ENDING arhdbhbkjadslmakmdjnjndenw. When we got to the last 50-30 pages I was like wow theirs a lot going on how is this going to wrap up? 10 pages left I was freaking out like "Amanda, what are we doing here?" and then it just happens, it ruined the book for me it wasn't suspenseful there was no cliffhanger moment for me, I felt like some ripped the last chapter out on me. 
 2 out of 5 as this was slight sluggish but I did enjoy some parts and have already started on the next book. Here's hoping Bryn has some major character development and really becomes the kick ass heroine she should be.
