Publisher's summary

What do you do when winter never ends?

Tempestuous, hedonistic Kilian Hale does not wish to be king. Only a curse cast by his father on his deathbed ties him to the throne until his elder brother, Gabriel, returns from war.

Spurned for not possessing the blonde hair and blue eyes of the people of Alder, Elina Brodeur seeks to win their approval by requesting an audience with their cruel, lazy king. But Kilian is not interested in the town’s pleas for extra provisions to help them through the particularly harsh winter, and time and again turns Elina away.

Yet the king soon discovers that he’s met his match in Elina, who strikes a deal with Kilian to get what she wants. But as provisions run low and tensions run high, Kilian struggles to get rid of the crown he never wanted whilst Elina tries to deny her growing feelings for the king she swore to hate.

The appearance of a pair of travelling magicians may just change everything.

Chronicles of Curses is a series of independent but interconnected fairy tale retellings that can largely be listened to in any order, though Snowstorm King is the preferred second in the series.

What would the weather be like if it was controlled by your emotions?

I wasn’t familiar with the snow queen when I started this book, but I have seen frozen. While this retelling had similar elements, it’s no Disney movie. Instead we get characters that feel more raw, believable, and includes some mental health elements. We also got a tad more spice in this book.

We are introduced to two black sheep, one ostracized by the village, one by the opinions of others, including family. Both feel trapped, both want to escape, but one uses it to propel them forward, while the other needs some help before they’re comfortable showing their true self. Another compelling story that I listened to in no time.

It was lovely to meet Adrian and Scarlet again, and I thoroughly enjoyed how the stories seem to interconnect.

If you love fairytales, then reading this book is a no brainer.

snowstorm king

This is the second book in the chronicles of curses series. This book had a little bit of spice in it. It was also a good book.
