Iced Fever Series Book 6 Karen Marie Moning 9780385344401 Books

Like most others looking at this book I read the 5 volume Fever series from which it derives, a series I thoroughly enjoyed for its creative spark and plot development. A character introduced late in the Fever series, a 14 year old named Dani, is the protagonist for Iced. The novel is still loosely set in Dublin, and the scenario picks up where the Fever series ended, with the wall between the world of Fae and that of humans broken, leaking Seelie, Unseelie, and other nightmarish elements of Fae into the world of humans, slowly wiping out humanity. For unknown reasons, Dani has the ability to move with blinding speed from place to place so long as she is furnished with enough to eat (an eating disorder that would make most of us envious, since she constantly gorges on Snickers). She has possession of a Fae sword that can kill Seelie and Unseelie. Her abilities are trumped by the character Ryodan (also somewhat of a player in the Fever series), his henchman Lor, and Christian, who is gradually turning from human into a ruthless Unseelie prince. For continuity, there are occasional references to the characters of Mac and Barrons from the Fever series, where Mac was a protagonist who had to morph from party girl to a force of nature. Mac possesses the only other known weapon, a spear, that can kill Seelie and Unseelie. There is enough complexity that the author deserves credit for not getting things tangled up any more than they already were.

Overall, I don't think this novel is a bad effort, it just gets a bit tiresome to read through the same Dani musings over and over and over. She's characterized as an insecure teenager with an inflated ego to cover for her anxieties, indulging in endlessly stupid introspection. The plot line is OK, but takes far too long to develop in getting from point A to point B. In the first 5 books the story unfolded in unexpected and interesting ways. That creative spark was less in evidence in this novel, with Dani and Ryodan basically doing the same song and dance repeatedly to the extent you just want to say "OK, OK, I get it". There is some redemption for the pace of the book when Dani inadvertently unleashes the Crimson Hag from her prison in the White Mansion, a Fae structure introduced in the Fever Series. But then, that also proves to be an artifice for setting up the next novel in the developing series. I was also put off by how Iced ended, with a few paragraphs devoted at the very end to having Mac suddenly confront Dani (i.e., stay tuned, a preview of coming attractions).

I can recommend this book for fans of the Fever series, but be warned that it is not a page turner. It does do a reasonably good job of setting up for a series it is obviously designed to lead into. Hopefully subsequent volumes will redeem what I found to be a rather average effort at leveraging the much better executed Fever series.

Iced Fever Series Book 6 Karen Marie Moning 9780385344401 Books Reviews

I was hesitant to start this book because I knew it was going to be different from the other books in the series. I had seen the way that Dani talked and, in all honesty, it got on my nerves. I ended up changing a few of her words of choice while I read because they annoyed me so much.

Besides the word choice, I love the way the story turned out. It was nice to see the story continue after I had fallen in love with it. Karen Marie Moning has a way with words and I didn't want it to end so soon. I want this world to continue even if it's coming from a character whose speech got on my nerves.

I admit that I am intrigued to find out what happens with Dani, though. I was a bit uneasy about the way the men talked about her in this book, but it was sweet at the same time. Ryodan and Christian can both see the woman she will become in her at the tender age of 14. If someone would have said that to me at that age, I probably would have reacted the same as Dani and been stunned yet a bit creeped out.

I'm excited to see what happens next for Dani and how Moning handles her age in the next books.
I have to admit that, unlike the first 5 books, it took me several weeks to finish Iced. I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the others. Having to read it in a 14 year-old's PoV was annoying. The excessive (overuse) of the words "dude", "mega" and "gah" were enough to have me grinding my teeth. I just think it would have been a better idea to introduce Dani, at the very least, as an 18 year-old who was a bit more mature-minded. I found myself skimming through the rest of the book. I was never a fan of Dani in the previous books and Iced did nothing to endear her to me. It only served to solidify the fact that I truly dislike her character.

The book itself was well written and the main story was interesting, while the side stories, imo, added nothing to it. The constant receptiveness of things already covered was something else I found tedious. It felt more like strategically placed fillers with the sole purpose of lengthening the book. Please understand that this is MY opinion and no way an attack on KMM. But I do hope with the next book in the trilogy, KMM will have Dani a bit older and a lot less annoying.
5/5 Hoar Frost King stars

I put off reading this for a long time. I think I was sad that things were pretty much shorn up with Barrons and Mac's story, and I wasn't ready to let go. Also, I wasn't sure I wanted to read a story so Danicentric.

I was wrong on all counts. I loved being in Dani's head. She's fearless, despite her young age. It's hard not to love her zest for life and adventure. She'd rather risk her life, face death head-on, than live to old age in safety and boredom.

Ryodan is like Barrons. I get that. Hard to know. Still, he's not fooling anyone. He cares about what happens to Dani. Even when she makes him so mad he threatens to break her legs.

Dancer is delightful. I hope he is in more of the coming stories.

Christian is the character I feel most sorry for. He has no control over the fact that he's turning into a monster. He can't help it. But he's still not pleasant to be around. He's lost the most in this post AWC world.

On to the next book. Hopefully, Dani and Mac get their stuff sorted.
