*I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review*Glass Frost does not suffer from second book-itis. I think it's every bit as good as the first. We travel once again to Everafter, where Bianca sets off on another quest. Ming, the best friend, tags along for this one as well, lured there by the desire to see Prince Ferdinand. Bianca is thrilled to see Terrence again, having desperately missed him while they were separated in different dimensions.The imagery in this second book is just as good as the first, perhaps even better. I thoroughly enjoyed the visit to the seven dwarves and the descriptions of the dwarves' house. There is a rather gross scene in which our heroes encounter a castle with thousands of frogs. I swear I could smell and feel the oozy yuckiness as I read! I also liked Bluebell the fairy, a new secondary character.Bianca learns quite a bit more about magic in this book, including the true cost of some magic as she and her friends travel back and forth between the mortal world and Everafter. The scenes with Ferdinand and Terrence in the mortal world were cute, especially Ferdinand and the amazing flushing toilet. Bianca and Terrence's romance really blossoms, which will ultimately lead to some difficult decisions. A long distance relationship is hard enough, but an inter-dimensional one...it would be painful.I recommend this book as highly as the first, again to middle school and up. If you enjoy fairy tales, you'll really like this series.You can also find this review at [...]
