Gathering Frost by Kaitlyn Davis

Decent start to a new fantasy series of fairy tale retellings.
I appreciate that this retelling of Sleeping Beauty felt quite different than all the others I've read in the past. Couldn't feel myself really relating to the main character at all or sympathizing for her. This may have been intentional, seeing as her emotions have been taken away from her, but even as her character developed, I still find myself not relating.
I felt like much more world building was needed, so hopefully that will come as the series progresses!
I wanted to like this more, especially as I'm the target audience. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me. Lots of repetition, and while there are a few gems of information, it felt like it was mostly filler.
Thank you to NetGalley, the author and the publisher for offering this book for review consideration. All opinions are my own.
