THE PRINCE AND THE ICE KING starts off a new series where some of the kingdoms are named after gemstones. In this one, we have Emerald - where our prince comes from, and Sapphire - where our frozen king resides. Reardon sets out to rescue his friend who was an unwilling sacrifice to the Frozen Kingdom. He just hopes he isn't too late. When he gets there though, things are not as he thought they would be...

What a fantastic story this was! I loved every word from the very beginning. It hooked me in and I was invested in this story, which not only made it a joy to read but stayed with me when I didn't have the book in my hands.

Jack and Reardon have their differences - and difficulties - but Reardon is not about to let something as small as a kingdom-wide curse affect him. Oh, no! Indeed, he charms the inhabitants of the Frozen Kingdom with his willingness to help and learn.

But it wasn't just Jack and Reardon who helped make this story outstanding. They have a wonderful supporting cast with their own tales to tell. I can't tell you who my favourite was because I simply couldn't choose.

With a smooth pace, action, adventure, betrayal, love, honour, and some steamy moments to melt the ice, this book had everything I could possibly have asked for. I can't wait to continue this series and look forward to reading more by this author.

A magnificent start to the series and a new-to-me author to watch. Absolutely and utterly recommended. Loved it!

Phenomenal read
If you are searching for a book you can forever return to as a firm favourite, Charlotte Bronte's Jane Eyre is that book. This is the kind of read which asks you questions, and you ask them back. With each read you learn something new, uncover something further, connect with a different character.

When reading, it is interesting to pay attention and watch out for references of fire and ice - this can add layers to your understanding and add a depth of interest.

Also, watch out for gothic tropes such a doubles, and see how these add to the plot.

Overall a fantastic read, though the ending may seem anti-climatic to some, I personally find it charming.

Enjoy this Victorian novel!
