Frost

As a teacher, I often find myself reading young adult fiction, hoping to find books worth recommending to my students. More often than not, I come up empty, but Frost was a happy exception to that rule. From the get-go, Frost had me hooked: the dystopian future is recognizeable and conceiveable (which makes it all the more frightening), the relationships between characters are complex, and the question of what defines humanity is presented in so many different contexts that it's hard NOT to have a deep conversation about it! The story's many twists and turns kept me enthralled, and the book's final cliffhanger left me begging for more. Frost is a must-read!

This is my daughters all time favorite book. She’s probably read it 5 times during COVID. After recommending it to me several times I finally gave in and after the first chapter couldn’t put it down myself. She even got my husband to read it. Great twists and turns and I’m looking forward to the sequel M.P. promises.

I loved the book. It had a turn of events that I did not see coming and that doesn't always happen for me. I usually know what is going to happen before it happens. The ones who did not care for the book seem to be trying to read between the lines... It is just a great read, to get lost in and I hope the author writes a sequel.

Oh, shiny!The cover of Frost by M.P. Kozlowsky immediately drew me in as it sat on the bookshelf at my local Barnes and Noble. Upon picking it up I was drawn in by a young girl’s love her pet that somehow in my head looked like an R.O.U.S. from The Princess Bride.There is nothing spectacularly revolutionary about Frost. It is a solid entry in the young adult dystopian fiction world. Each major character from Frost to Romes, her beloved pet, to Bunt, the family’s robot, had a specific role to play in the story. Evoking emotion through what seems to be an impossible goal while slowly doling out secrets about this post-apocalyptic world ruled by robots and plagued by some weird zombification virus, Kozlowsky kept me reading until the big secret was revealed.As the story progressed, I wanted to know more about what created the world that Frost lived in–what caused the downfall of humans and the rise of the robots? How long much time has passed since “the Big Event?” Did Frost’s father really play a role in the event that caused the robots to rise? Did this story take place in New York City? These were all questions I asked as I read, but not many answers were given. I didn’t feel the lack of answers detracted from the story, as this is truly a character driven plot, but I wouldn’t have minded a FEW more answers before the final page.Fans of Marissa Meyers’s The Lunar Chronicles as well as fans of dystopian young adult fiction may want to give Frost a shot. There are characters to root for and those you hope meet their doom, In the end, you will hope that Frost is able to achieve her goal of saving Romes and reaching the Battery. Her heart and determination will win you over.

Genuinely a good read. Found it at a library, read it every time I went (sadly rarely often) and anyways, I couldn’t find it again, this happened over a span of a year. I’m so happy I found the book here.

This book was so good I had a hard time putting it down. I really cared about the characters, even ones I only saw for a minute, and needed to know what would happen next. I loved how we saw everything from the character’s point of view and so some questions just are never answered. Because neither Frost nor Flynn knew the answer. So we don’t either. I loved how many different ways the question, ‘what gives life value?’ Is approached. I REALLY wish Scholastic would get the sequel printed finally. I need to know what happens next!

This is an amazing book. I read what is considered avidly, but this is the first book to make me cry. It’s so emotionally charged. Great storyline. Highly recommend.

Amazing and emotional

I chose this book for my book report and couldn't stop reading it! There was moments when I was nervous, moments when I was happy, and I cried more then once near the end!
