My Review
Cold Queen was bloody brilliant!! I'm a huge fan of retellings and this story satisfied every craving I had. I think my daughters have made me watch Frozen more than a dozen times and from my first viewing, I always wanted it to be Elsa who found true love. I found Anna to be lame. Boring. Elsa was the ruler, the one with magic, the one who claimed my interest. She has the ability to manipulate ice and snow! K Webster gave me the story that I always wanted and I'm so in love with Elzira and Ryke!
When Ryke made his way to Elzira's castle with his twenty thousand men, to negotiate an agreement to further his plan, he expected some kind of fight. He ended up waltzing in and finding a hot mess of lies. Inside the castle was a cold, vulnerable queen willing to do anything to protect her sister.
Meeting the cold queen should have been a piece of cake and turned into so much more. While he ran hot and she ran cold, they were a perfect mesh of elements. She may have been dying, but Ryke wasn't going to make a thing like death stand in the way of what (or who) he wanted.
Honestly, Cold Queen has become one of my favorite retellings yet. It was hot, evocative, the world building was stellar, the plot was engaging, and I can only hope that the author will do something like this again!
What have you done to me, you wickedly handsome Volc?

Her diamondblade crown sits proudly on her head and her black cape flaps behind her. She's powerful and stronger than any other person I've met.

How he reduces me to a begging, trembling, aching mess is beyond me. If it were anyone else, I'd kill them. Not Ryke Bloodsun, King of the Volcs, Truth Seeker and fire maker. Bossy. Infuriating man. Breathtakingly beautiful.
