*May Include Minor Spoilers* FrostFire By Amanda Hocking has all of the charm and danger of the world first seen in the Trylle trilogy mixed in with new characters and new dangers. Hocking has created a brilliant follow on from her successful Trylle trilogy with this novel. Although I found the beginning a little slow after the first few chapters I was hooked into the fantastic Dystopia that Hocking has created. FrostFire follows Bryn Avan, a Kanin tracker as she delves into the mysterious tracker turned criminal Konstantin Black to discover why he tried to murder her father. We see Bryn tackle her emotions for her boss Ridely whilst trying to understand what her emotions for Konstantin (her former crush) are. In amongst this mix of emotions danger lurks around every corner for Bryn. As a tracker she has to find and retrieve changelings from the human world. But four years after Konstantin's attack changelings start to be hunted and murdered, causing Bryn and Konstantin's lives to intersect once again. As they're meetings become more frequent Bryn start to suspect that something more is going on, Who is Konstantin working for? Why are they after the changelings? and How have they gained knowledge of where to find the Changelings? I read the Trylle trilogy a few years ago and have been waiting a long time to revisit that world and Hocking didn't disappoint. I found the characters easy to connect and sympathise with as no detail is spared when it comes to describing they're emotions; Many of the characters are shrouded in Mystery making the plot line even more compelling. An added bonus to this novel was the small cameos of the characters from the trill trilogy, such as Finn who visits his sister Ember Holmes for her birthday. As for the plot line itself, I believed it picked up around chapter three causing me to ask more questions about the characters and they're intentions; which is one quality I always look for in a book (If you don't ask questions about a book then you are clearly not enjoying it enough to care). Hocking writing style is also very clear and too the point, making this book very easy to read, meaning the age rating I would give this book would be from 14 upwards (young adults). I thoroughly enjoyed the opening to this trilogy and am very excited about reading the next instalment.
