First Frost even opened up in a very humorous way, making me feel I would enjoy the book. At points she did integrate the story decently with ‘reality’. I do love how Liz combines the world she created in her book, and the world of fairy tales-the Brothers Grimm. ‘’The Big Bad Wolf was every bit as scary as Bianca had always imagined.’ When an evil witch shows up, flinging magically fireballs, Bianca realizes even fairy tales can be real. All the artifacts are related to stories from the Brothers Grimm.īut even though she has been surrounded by these items of magical fantasy, Bianca knows it isn't real.Īs much as her mother, Rose, loves to read stories of beautiful princess, evil witches and dashing princes, they are all just make believe. Her family has run a museum for Magical and Rare Artifacts for generations. ‘Her mother had read every fairy tale imaginable to her since the day she was born.’īianca has grown up being surrounded by items from fairy tales. Liz did have a great idea for this story, but I just felt it could have been more. So, when I got to it, I was excited, but that excitement was short-lived. Now, the idea or concept of First Frost sounded amazing, it was what first pulled me in and why I wanted to review it. That doesn't mean it was a bad book, no, but First Frost just didn't have that factor that allows me to be consumed in the story. Yes, I gave this book a 2 star rating, as much as I wanted to love it, I just couldn't. *I was sent this book by the author in exchange for an honest review*
