Childhood reread. Cool new mythical creatures involved(gryphons). Again some cringy writing like every time they sword fight it literally writes:
Clash. Clash. Clash.
Clang. Clang. Clang.
Yeah well that’s one way to convey it *shrug*.

Ah, the fateful conclusion. I really need to own this. I have stuck with the series and am sad/glad to see it come to the end.

I will miss you.

It is no secret that I love anything Jennifer puts out. I dive right into every book of hers the moment it hits my inbox. Gwen has not had an easy time since her Moms death and the moment the world of Mythos Academy was revealed to her. She has been to the brink of death and back, she has made and lost friends. She is Nike's Champion and non of her struggles are going to end anytime soon. Luckily she has great allies to help her on her journey.

MIDNIGHT FROST brings us outside the Mythos Academy walls. Gwen and her friends must find a rare flower that only grows in one spot, at one time so that they can save someone close to their hearts from the poison that was meant for Gwen. Book 5 had a bit of a different feel to it. There was plenty of action moments but not as much as earlier books. There is a lot of focus on Gwen and her role as Nike's Champion, her feelings, her family and friendships, etc. There is a lot of growth on Gwen's part and it is not all easy. Since it is not that big of a shock, Logan does come back which brings feelings out from both sides. As always I loved watching all the characters work together towards their common goal. Their protectiveness towards Gwen is always awesome to witness.

As the series progresses I find myself wanting the next book more and more. I look forward to seeing what Gwen and her allies will accomplish next.

Although she’s still heartbroken over what happened between her and Logan Quinn, Gwen still has been searching for the artifacts that Nike previously revealed to her. She needs to get them before the reapers do. Gwen is used to Reapers attacking her and her friends. Since everyone knows she's Nike's champion now, she's expecting even more attacks. What she doesn't expect is for the Reapers to try to poison her and she especially doesn't expect them to accidentally poison someone else instead. There is only one place to get the antidote to the poison and Reapers are sure to be waiting there for her...

I absolutely loved Midnight Frost! I enjoyed each book in the series but I believe this may be my favorite. Estep once again carried me away on an enthralling mythological adventure that seemed to leap right off the pages. I was anxious to find out where Gwen and Logan would stand in the after effects of Crimson Frost but this book was so much more than just a follow-up on their relationship. A new character is actually introduced in this book that took the story to a whole new level. We find out a little more about Gwen's family history and gain a little more of a peek into that past. I also have to state for the record, I want a gryphon! I won't post any spoilers but I am totally in love with the gryphons now!

Midnight Frost is book #5 in the amazing Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep. If you love to read young adult novels with mythology and adventure then this series is for you!

* I received this book from the publisher in exchange for a honest review *

Für mich bislang der schwächste Teil der Reihe. Ich fand ihn sehr vorhersehbar und so richtig Spannung kam leider auch nicht auf.
3,5 Sterne gibt es aber trotzdem, weil ich die Charaktere und die Welt einfach liebe! :)
Ich bin sehr auf das Finale gespannt!

Wie immer super! auch nach Band 5 lassen Jennifer Esteps Spannung und Stil nicht nach :) die Bücher rund um Gwen Frost und den Kampf gegen Loki und seine Schnitter des Chaos sind einfach super uns sehr empfehlenswert!

Ich brauche Band 6! So eine tolle Reihe :)
