Review Tour & Giveaway: Between Frost & Fury by Chani Lynn Feener


Between Frost and Fury
Chani Lynn Feener
(The Xenith Trilogy #2)
Published by: Swoon Reads
Publication date: July 24th 2018
Genres: Science Fiction, Young Adult
Delaney might have done her job a little TOO well…and now her life has once again been turned upside down by aliens, this time by a deadly (and devastatingly handsome) alien prince in this explosive second installment of Chani Lynn Feener’s The Xenith Trilogy.

Delaney has been kidnapped by aliens. Again. After only a month back on Earth with her hot new alien boyfriend Ruckus, the deadly and devastatingly handsome prince Trystan has dragged her right back to his planet.
While some girls may dream of winning a prince’s heart, Delaney just wishes this one would leave her alone. Instead, she finds herself at the center of both a tense political battle between two alien kingdoms and Trystan’s romantic attentions, both of which are absolutely ruining the life she’s built on Earth. Not to mention the fact that she’s about to be crowned queen of a planet she’s barely even visited. Just another day in the life of an ordinary human girl.
Readers won’t want to miss Between Frost and Fury, the compelling, fast-paced sequel to Chani Lynn Feener’s Amid Stars and Darkness.

I was given a copy of books 1 and 2 in exchange for my honest review.

Book 1: 4* Book 2: 4.5*

Reviews for books I enjoyed are always the hardest to write...and I thoroughly enjoyed both of these books. The world building was amazing and I freaking LOVED Delaney's character. She was snark personified.  She could have just given up and let the aliens walk all over her, but she didn't. I'm picky about what YA books I will let my daughter (she's 12) read because she identifies so strongly with the female protagonist, and I would absolutely let her read both of these books. In fact, I would recommend these books to just about everyone I know. 


I will give one warning: there is a love triangle. It gives me major Warner/Adam/Juliette vibes (from the Shatter Me trilogy, if you don't know who I'm talking about). At first I was 100% Team Ruckus but the more I read, I found myself starting to convert to Team Trystan. I'm still not sure who I love more, but I will admit there is a large part of me that just wants to hug Trystan. 


I've found a new author to add to my list of "Read Everything This Author Has Ever Written." The month of December is usually my month of rereads, so these 2 books will definitely be on that list. And now I'm off to buy print copies of these books because I need these on my shelf!
