The Frostbound Queen is a stand alone, MMF fantasy book. The storyline was interesting and it wasn't as much smut as I expected, maybe 50%? I enjoyed listening to the audiobook version. It was told from the three MC POV, alternating between each. The narrators did a good job but the two male narrators had very similar voices so I sometimes was confused as to who was speaking. They did a good job, but it might have been better using more distinguishable narrators.

The actual storyline was better than I expected. I enjoyed it a more at the beginning, towards the end the amount of smut overtook the amount of plot. The last 15% of the book, including the climax, was just ok. The ending just seemed rushed and didn't leave me satisfied like the first part of the book did.

I went into the book blind about the MM scenes. If those are your jam, then this book will be sure to please. All the scenes were 🔥 🥵. I would have liked to see more romance between the characters. While there was love between Liria & Ronan and Ronan & Sigurn, it isn't developed much and it seems to be pure lust between Liria & Sigurn. Even being able to 'hear' their perspective during their chapters, it didn't feel like real love.

Overall, this plot was interesting and kept me involved, even if it didn't have a great ending. I won't be recommending this to my mom, but if you like MM scenes and smut, then this book gets the green light from me.
