Summary (from Goodreads):
Rebels, royals, and monsters wage war over the Mytican throne in the
shocking fourth book of the Falling Kingdoms series, from New York Times
bestselling author Morgan Rhodes.
CLEO: Reeling after a bloody showdown in Limeros ending with Amara’s abduction of the water crystal, and a vacancy in the Mytican throne, Princess Cleo must cast aside her feelings and look toward her kingdom with the eyes of a Queen.

Review:
I swear, this series just gets better and better with
every book. The fact that it’s book 4 and I’m still heavily invested (you guys know I have an issue reading series’),
is a testament to the awesomeness that is Falling
Kingdoms and Morgan Rhodes.
FROZEN TIDES picks up shortly where Gathering Darkness left off. Without giving away too much of the
plot from past books, FROZEN TIDES seriously ups the ante. I loved traveling
beyond the shores of Mytica to Kraesha with Amara. Amara completely caught me
off guard. Her intelligence and ruthlessness absolutely stunned me in the best
ways possible and she is truly set up as a force to be reckoned with in FROZEN
TIDES. I can’t wait to see her in the next book!
I have loved watching the evolution of Magnus, Jonas, and
Cleo. These three are my absolutely faves (OK, Magnus is #1), and their growth
from book 1 to book 4 is incredible. They’ve learned and adapted and persevered
and refused to give up.
Fans of Falling
Kingdoms are going to be hopelessly entranced by FROZEN TIDES. Rhodes once
again bests herself in the storytelling game, weaving a masterful tale of
secrets, deceit and love.
I still have to read Gathering Darkness, but I can't wait to read this. Great review!
