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.

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.
