This was, by far, the best book in the Frostheart trilogy. Jamie Littler really is a storytelling genius. The plot was captivating and the illustrations were amazing. It was full of excitement, humour and emotion at times. Farewell Frostheart

The ending was one of the best endings to a book I have ever seen. I can't wait to find out what happens next in Percy Jackson and the Titan's Curse.
