~*The Revolution of Jack Frost by K.M. Robinson*~
3.5 Stars
First off I would like to thank Netgalley & the publisher Bleeding Ink Publishing for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
For the longest time Jack Frost was one of the most underused mythical characters. I think the movie version of "Rise of the Guardians" brought him more to the forefront. Every year at Christmas the Jack Frost special comes on and I always cry so I have been a fan of his for a while!
Inside the globe no one knows knows that the weather is being controlled by Morozoko Industries. Jack and Gen want to know why Winter lasts forever and yet Spring,Summer and Autumn seem to go by in a blink of an eye. With WInter lasting so long the residents have a very short amount of time to harvest what they need to survive the cold season to come. Life is not easy for the residents of the globe.
I felt that this book was a bit of a hit and miss for me. There were parts that I really liked a lot but I did feel that the writing wa a little bit weak. I think the characters just needed to be a little more defined.. The story idea was good but the story seemed a bit plodding. I guess you could kind of call this a mix of "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent" series.
Overall it was a decent read but I feel as if I wanted to like it far more than I actually ended up liking it. It is a quick and easy read and a good way to spend a cold afternoon.
