This isn't a bad book, but it's completely mis-marketed. The quote about blood freezing is only a small part of a subplot, and doesn't relate to murder or violent action as is implied. I found the story very slow and frustrating, although the descriptions are beautiful. I wish the blood freezing stuff had been the main plot as it was so under-explored and is such a huge topic. The characters were boring to me, refusing to change or do anything for other people.
