I used to love reading YA Fantasy. But lately I haven’t been reading a lot of Fantasy at all. I just don’t seem to love it as much anymore. But when I received a review request about ‘Kingdom Cold’ I was intrigued and decided to give it a try.
In ‘Kingdom Cold’ we meet sixteen year old Princess Charlotte. Charlotte is an only child and definitely a little spoilt. When Charlotte’s parents arrange for her to marry a young prince she has never met, she is angry and frustrated. But soon Charlotte’s life is turned upside down. People she cares about are dying and many people are in danger. And soon marrying is the least of her problems.
‘Kingdom Cold’ is a fun and easy to read book that makes you want to keep on reading. From the moment I started reading this book I just wanted to know what would happen next and I just didn’t want to stop reading until the very last page. The world that’s set in this book is kind of mysterious and I found myself curious about this world and the people that lived there.
The characters in this book were also definitely fun. The main character Charlotte wasn’t one of my favorite characters, especially in the beginning. Obviously I get why you don’t want to marry someone you’ve never met before, but she was just so spoilt and childish at first. I just didn’t like her. Thankfully her character became much more likeable after a little while. The character of Prince Young luckily was one I enjoyed much more. He was just so kind and honest. I enjoyed reading about him.
Overall I enjoyed this book. But I also had some issues. For one I don’t get why the author called this book a YA Fantasy. It’s a YA book, but I just couldn’t find a Fantasy element in there. Secondly I felt like the ending was very rushed. A lot of time went by in just a view paragraphs and I almost felt like I missed some pages. I’m also still not quiet sure if I liked the way this book ended.
This book is supposedly a standalone novel. But I think it would be the perfect book for a series. The author obviously had so much to say about these characters that I think three books would make it perfect. And it would definitely solve the problem I had with the rushed ending.
Overall ‘Kingdom Cold’ was definitely a fun read.
