My summary:
Winter break has arrived at St Vladimir's but Rose feels anything but celebratory. Her badass mother punched her in the face, a guy she could never like has a massive crush on her, and she keeps getting stuck in the mind of her best friend Lissa while she's making out with her boyfriend.
And as if Rose's problems aren't enough, the academy is crawling with guardians after a recent Strigoi attack, and the landscape of the beautiful posh Idaho resort all the students are sent to is only an illusion of protection.
When a few of her friends sneak off to make an attack on the deadly Strigoi, Rose joins forces with Lissa's boyfriend to save them.
But as Rose soon finds out, heroism isn't as easy as it may seem...
My thoughts:
***caution spoilers ahead, read with caution***
In Frosbite you learn more about the powers of Spirit, and we get introduced to Adrian Ivashkov, another Spirit user, like Lissa.
He's a rather complex character, a bit of a wreck, but I instantly liked him. He had good sense of humour and even though Rose didn't like him, and he wasn't such a big character, I knew he'd become a bigger, because he had a certain likable quality in him.
We also learn more about Mason in this book and I was liking him more and more and was really upset when he was killed. He had a massive crush on Rose and they had a fight, which was why he left to find the Strigoi nest, so Rose blamed herself for his death, which is sad.
Dimitri and Rose's relationship doesn't deepen in Frostbite as Dimitri has his eye on someone else, which tears Rose up.
Later on in the book when Rose and Christian (that's Lissa's boyfriend) go to rescue Mason, Mia, and Eddie when they try and seek out the Strigoi's nest, they find them, but they can't rescue them. The Strigoi capture them all, and hold them captive, feeding off Eddie.
They do manage to escape with the help of Christian's fire power and Mia's water power, and Rose ends up killing two Strigoi (with a blunt sword by the way, which is skilled) but Mason is killed.
In the process of this, Mia and Rose bond, and the old hatred between them dies. So from you go from hating Mia at the beginning of them book to thinking she's epic at the end. That's pretty clever of Richelle Mead.
In the end, Rose's worries of Dimitri liking someone else is relieved as he tells her he couldn't love anybody else apart from her. So sweet :')
Overall, I loved this book maybe even more than the first in the series, and Richelle Mead has done a wonderful job of making me love the characters even more (if that's even possible?)
