Thank you to Netgalley for providing a arc for review.

“He was a force of nature. He could warm your soul like the sun and then bury you in ice the next second.”

First off I love Jack Frost stories and there are far too few of them in the world. This was delightful, albeit confusing origin story for Jack Frost. I’m not going to lie I was massively confused for far too much of the story. There are a lot of characters, but most of them don’t really matter. I hadn’t read any synopsis of the story so the whole snow globe thing was really confusing, as was the ridiculous weather patterns.

Jack and Genesis live in a “snow globe” in a bunker with a whole, whole lot of other people. They get their seasons in weeks, or days, not months. The weather can abruptly change from summer like conditions to a full on blizzard by the afternoon. The adults of the bunker do the best they can given the conditions. Children appear out of nowhere and they are brought into bunker life with the rest. They have no technology, or running water. They really have no sense that technology exists. Not a single person can recall life outside of the bunker.....or do they?

That’s all I can say plot wise without spoilers so let’s move on. I really started to get intrigued as to where this was going about half way through the book. The characters weren’t the most fleshed out or complex, except for Jack and Gen. I honestly think that what really caught my attention with this book was just the unique set up for an origin story. Jack tries to protect all these people to the best of his abilities. Things get wonky, and the part where things fall apart could have been explained a touch better. I enjoyed the last half though. Characters seem to become a bit more real, the conflict was tense and it was the perfect ending for a Jack Frost origin. 3.5/5

This book was highly entertaining, mainly because the main character was--unfortunately--quite a joke. I was very much looking forward to this wintery book. However, I was disappointed by the writing. The premise of the book is more-or-less government control of the winter in a snow globe (obviously its supposed to be cold and snowy in a snow globe). One also can't take the concept of living in an actual snow globe too seriously. If the weather gets too warm, won't the water boil? How do they breathe in there? You know, the science of the whole thing. This is a MAJOR fantasy world. Its a FUN concept. But MAJOR fantasy. So if you're excited about this one, stay WAY open-minded and you just might enjoy it.

Rating 3.5/5

A "Maze Runner" with seasons, this dystopian novel. took on a very interesting aspect for the plot which unfortunately fell through but was still pleasing and the characters were delightful. I think the story could have done without the romance as Jack was the focal point and not "Jack and Gen". In fact, if the romance was taken out completely I would have rated it higher. The plot definitely had its flaws and could have expanded on a lot more if the author chose to do a duology or even series of this. But I liked the twist on a Maze Runner concept, but I feel if you're going to copy another storyline, you need to work hard at making it really your own so the readers will be able to enjoy an entirely new world. It was there but wasn't done in a way that would have made more sense for us. I still really enjoyed this and recommend it.

I struggled a lot with this book because the writing was good but there wasn't a story. It took me a little bit to figure out what was going on, which is fine, but it would have been faster if Gen and Jack weren't all over each other every other paragraph. I love Jack Frost, and this book had potential, but the characters were just flat.

A futuristic, dystopian retelling of Jack Frost with more than a hint of the Maze Runner, this was a difficult one to pin down. The idea behind the book was good, but it took far too long for it to be revealed to the reader, meaning the first half of the book made little sense, and didn't really engage me. I didn't mind at all the idea of an enclosed world where the weather was controlled as an experiment but I felt it should have been made clearer much earlier in the book. I also struggled to care about the characters , and never really bought the romance between the two main characters, Genesis and Jack , it seemed to be a matter of convenience, both in terms of the limited options available to the characters, and in terms of giving the author something to write about when nothing else was happening.
I struggled more with the writing style and execution than with the central premise , and I found the second half of the book much more interesting. That , combined with the clever epilogue, might be enough to entice me to read the next book.
I read and reviewed an ARC courtesy of NetGalley and the publisher, all opinions are my own.

There was quite awhile between me requesting this book and actually reading it. Which meant I had no idea what the book was about when I actually started reading it.

The story started of really vague, there were a lot of characters and really weird circumstances (which maybe would have been less weird if I had read the back..). Nevertheless these weird circumstances really intrigued me, and I really wanted to know what was going to happen!

I slowly started to understand the world around chapter 5.

In this world there is a company which  is testing the weather on human in small ‘snow globes’, to find the strongest race. This concept is really interesting, and that’s also the main reason for me requesting this book!

I do think the idea could have been executed better. The book was a bit too short for the story that was being told. If it would have been longer, more of the world could have been explored, since it was really interesting. Also in the book the figure things out unrealistically quick, I think with more pages this could have been done better as well. Since than the characters would have more time the figure things out, and it would feel more realistic! Also at the end we see about the world outside of their ‘snow globe’ but I’m really sad that they did not really explain what was going on. I mean you know something bad is happening, that’s why they have these ‘snow globes’, but they never say what.. And now I really want to know.

Another big complaint is that the main character was making really stupid decision. Too stupid to feel ‘real’.

I ended up giving this book 2.5 stars, because I think the idea of the book was really original, and that the story was going in the correct direction. But I think the author should have expanded a little bit more.

This is the story of how Jack became known as Jack Frost.Imagine a world where there are 2 days of Spring,a week of Summer,4 days of Fall and a month of Winter continuously. That is what life is like inside the globe ,only the people there(mainly younger folks) don’t know they are living in a controlled environment and are being tested on how one copes with such harsh continuous conditions and preparedness for the changing seasons facing frostbite,starvation and survival during the cold bitter winter. Then things start happening which cause even the controlled conditions to change. The main characters of this story are Jack and Genesis and they are very much in love but Jack has secrets that Genesis has yet to discover. A very engaging read that kept me flipping the pages.

I couldn't connect with the characters, the storyline was hard to follow, and the writing was horrible. It was not what I was expecting from the synopsis.
Needless to say, I abandoned the story after trying for 45 pages to get into it and failing.

3.5 Stars

First off I would like to thank Netgalley & the publisher Bleeding Ink Publishing for allowing me to read an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
For the longest time Jack Frost was one of the most underused mythical characters. I think the movie version of "Rise of the Guardians" brought him more to the forefront. Every year at Christmas the Jack Frost special comes on and I always cry so I have been a fan of his for a while!

Inside the globe no one knows knows that the weather is being controlled by Morozoko Industries. Jack and Gen want to know why Winter lasts forever and yet Spring,Summer and Autumn seem to go by in a blink of an eye. With WInter lasting so long the residents have a very short amount of time to harvest what they need to survive the cold season to come. Life is not easy for the residents of the globe.

I felt that this book was a bit of a hit and miss for me. There were parts that I really liked a lot but I did feel that the writing wa a little bit weak. I think the characters just needed to be a little more defined.. The story idea was good but the story seemed a bit plodding. I guess you could kind of call this a mix of "The Hunger Games" and "Divergent" series.

Overall it was a decent read but I feel as if I wanted to like it far more than I actually ended up liking it. It is a quick and easy read and a good way to spend a cold afternoon.

I wanted to like this book so badly but the story felt really flat-what little action occurred was poorly described and there was zero growth in the characters. Genesis' character seems solely defined by her relationship to Jack and nothing else. There weren't enough details to provide for solid world building and the characters were uninteresting.

With even pacing, lovable characters, and accessible worldbuilding, this book is good for anyone suffering from a reading-slump.

it honestly took me a while to get in to this book
it didn't help life getting in the way as usually
but it was a book one
the characters were well thought out and dragged you along for they ride
the worlds this author created were rich and deep

would recommended this books to anyone

"His name was Jack and his love for me was like a flood, now frozen over." (K.R. Robinson, 1).

The Revolution of Jack Frost is a very interesting novel about a world where Summer is a week, Winter is a month, and their whole community jokes about living in a snow globe, not realizing just how true that may be. 

It opens with the main characters Genesis and Jack going through the last couple of days of Winter with their community. We get to learn how they work before the inciting incident. 

The story was incredibly captivating and innovative. The premise of the seasons being different lengths and how they worked around that was something I haven't read before. One thing I had a problem with was that we got thrown into the book with minimal information, and it never gets clarified. You kind of just deduce certain things and they get confirmed much later in the story. 

The characters were a bit lackluster for me. Genesis was just okay, and Jack's personality flip flopped all over the place. I felt like that made it difficult for me to really enjoy the story as the characters took me out of it most of the time. There was just something off with how they interacted with each other. 

I loved that rather than tell a variation of the story of Jack Frost, Robinson showed us her interpretation of how Jack Frost came to be. The book definitely gave me a dystopian vibe that I did not expect when I first started reading. It was a pleasant change to the Jack Frost story. 

I enjoyed reading this novel. While some parts were maybe a bit unnecessary and the characters were lackluster, the plot itself was extremely entertaining and vastly different than what I was expecting, which is a good thing. I would give this novel 4 out of 5 stars.

I think that, like most people, the mention of Jack Frost in the title of the book was what sold me. And after reading the blurb I was quite intrigued what this book was all about. However, now that I finished I can't help but have mixed feelings about it. It wasn't all bad, but it wasn't all great either.

First things first: I really did not like the first half of the book. Not only did I find it predictable, but I was mostly bored, and it felt as though the author was trying to write as many words as she could so the book wouldn't be too short. And the main reason for that was the lack of world-building. Looking back, I understand why she couldn't develop more this world at this point of the story, but I think a better alternative could have been found other than kissy scenes between the two main characters.
Speaking of the devil(s), I had a really hard time with them, individually speaking and as a couple. I mean, yes they were cute, but at some point I just was tired of seeing them kiss/call each other cheesy names. I'm all for cute couples, but I have limits.

On the other hand, I enjoyed the second half of the book a lot more. There were more plot-twists, I found the story more structured (though it still wasn't perfect), and we finally had the information we needed. The pace of the plot also picked up, and overall I felt more involved in the story.

I like how we understand the name of the book only at the very end, but I feel like 'Jack Frost' was mostly used as a way to lure readers into picking up this book.

This novel will have a sequel, and to be honest I am still not sure if I will read it, but I am curious to see what it will be about (and who knows, maybe I'll decide to read it).

The Revolution of Jack Frost is a science fiction dystopian novel about a group of people living in an environment with really bizarre seasonal variations. The story centers around Jack and Genesis, a couple living in this world that uncovers secrets about this world. Survival is a common theme throughout this book. Jack and Genesis are supposed to be in love, but the relationship between the two of them was just odd. I didn't feel the connection between the two characters at all. It was like they were friends with benefits as opposed to boyfriend and girlfriend. I knew I was taking a risk picking this one up considering the short time for the warmer seasons that are intended to be used for gathering food and supplies. It was not explained very well how the plant life and wildlife were adapted to not only survive the seasonal variations, but also to grow at such a rate that they could be harvested for supplies to keep the humans living in the world alive. This really made this a difficult book for me to finish.

Such an exciting dystopian read that tells the story of Jack Frost! Fascinating characters. Jack and Genesis are larger than life. I loved their romance! I do wonder what will be the final outcome of the study. There were twists that I didn't see coming and especially the epilogue. I would be interested in a sequel. I can't wait to read more by this exciting author!

3.7 stars. It really is a “fluff” read, but it’s a good fluff read. I honestly thought the last 30% was the best portion of the book. Some of the writing feels a little bit off... bad even? It’s just missing something even though general story is good. It’s has a lot of filler moments and dialogue I think. It was just okay. At the same time, I would like to know what happens in the next book. But I would also be okay with someone giving me the main points just so I know what happens.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

Not the worst book I've ever read, but I almost couldn't finish it. The dystopian aspect of the novel felt very forced and the characters were so stoic it was difficult to feel for them as the story progressed. Dystopian novels are in no way rare nowadays and the ending of this one felt extremely predictable. I wish it didn't try to incorporate the story of Jack Frost at all, and maybe it would have been better.

I was hoping for more Jack Frost and less Maze Runner with a weather machine. There were a lot of gaps in the story that left me confused, like almost 75% of the way through the book you find out that there are over 200 people in the bunker, but all they focus on is a handful and all the kids that are there. The way it was reading was that there was maybe 20 people in total.
The relationship between Jack and Genesis I could have done without, I didn’t’ find it to be that important to the story, it just felt like it was there as a filler when the author couldn’t come up with something for the people in the bunker to do in between scenes.
Things pick up once it was found out that the people in the “snow globe” were being watched and the weather was under someone else’s control. There was a small bit of anger and confusion, but once Genesis found out the truth, she just seems to go with the flow despite her not being 100% behind the reason why. If it was me I’d be throwing chairs, demanding answers and proof of the claims of the war they are trying to protect the people from.
The ending was super predictable. Only saving grave was the epilogue.

3.5 stars

I have to be honest and say that as soon as I saw Jack Frost in the title I was inmediately drown to it and I didn't care about anything else. Although it wasn't my favorite, I quite enjoyed it.

I think what I loved the most was the relationships, not only romantic ones but also the friendships. I don't remember loving characters as soon as I loved these ones.

At the beginning my favorite was Jack even though at the same time I thought I couldn't trust him, he is just so sweet with kids (that's what always makes my heart melt). Conserning his relationship with Genesis, I thought sometimes they were really good to each other because they showed how much they cared but other times Jack was just so jealous and acting as a caveman.

Genesis by herself was kind of clueless, like it was very obvious the ending but she just couldn't see it. However, I liked how after knowing the secret she doesn't forgive easily and realises what the mature thing to do is.

Then all the other characters felt very real, they were kind of childish from time to time but I still have some friends that are like that and I adore them so how could I not like these ones? Moreover, they were all thinking what was best for everyone around them, I don't think there were more than two characters that only were thinking about themselves.

On the other hand, something I didn't like was how unrealistic some discoveries felt.

The ending was quite predictable. Don't get me wrong, I almost cried mainly because of the pain others were going through but it was very obvious.
