After I accepted the second book in the Thrones and Bone series, Nightborn, I immediately went to he library to buddy read it with my oldest. Ironic enough, Frostborn was a book I have previous checked out for him that he never got around to reading.
I am not a huge middle grade reader - but it's one category that I have been wanting to get into for a while now. Fantasy probably wasn't the best of genres to start with though, to be honest.
Frostborn had a really slow start. The story didn't really progress until about 40%, with the introduction to the characters and world building. This is not necessarily a bad thing - but it took a lot of patience on my part to get past this.
We have an array of characters; the main two being Karn, a boy next to take over his family farm and Thianna, a half-human/half-giant. Once these two are introduced, the story really picks up its pace and doesn't let up from there. These two make a great team - with Thianna's stubborn and tough personality and Karn's wit. Their adventures were quite entertaining and love how everything pieced together in the end.
Overall - Frostborn was a great start to a series. Minor pacing issues aside in the beginning, it's entertaining with an interesting world with Norse history and lore, fans of fantasy books will get a kick out of this one!
