Tears of Frost Blog Tour: Playlist, Favorite Quotes, Review, Giveaway



The electric second book in the Heart of Thorns trilogy explores the effects of power in a dark magical kingdom—and the fierce courage it takes to claim your body as your own.

Mia Rose is back from the dead. Her memories are hazy, her body numb—but she won’t stop searching. Her only hope to save the boy she loves and the sister who destroyed her is to find the mother she can never forgive. Pilar is on a hunt of her own. Betrayed by her mother, and plagued by a painful secret, she’s determined to seek out the only person who can exact revenge. All goes according to plan… until she collides with Prince Quin, the boy whose sister she killed.

As Mia, Pilar, and Quin forge dangerous new alliances, they are bewitched by the snow kingdom’s promise of freedom and opportunity. But with the winter solstice drawing near, they must confront the truth beneath the glimmering ice, as lines between friend, foe, and lover vanish like snowflakes on a flame.

"Love was a fist with broken knuckles. A knife with a blunt blade."

"Secrets are what make us real"

"Magic is not yours to control but it always, always, your choice how you use it."

Review:

Tears of Frost by Bree Barton is gut wrenching. This review is going to be hard to write since I need to keep everything spoiler free. Barton was not afraid to tackle some tough subjects in this one. Depression and mental illness is definitely a big theme in this book. I think Barton handled it quite well due to this being a very difficult subject to tackle.

We are introduced to some new characters in this book but we still have all the old ones and we really get to know them in this incredible sequel .These are definitely some characters that have been scarred. They battle with wanting to be loved and seeking approval. I feel like these characters really had real world issues even in a fantasy book. The sister relationship is so intense. This is definitely a book to read.


For those concerned, Barton did add trigger warnings at the beginning of the book and included hotline numbers in the back.
