Thank you so much for allowing me to read this book.

This book just was not my cup of tea. It was bland, all the characters felt so juvenile, and the romance was wretched. I don't want to say much as my opinion is not great on this book, but I seriously didn't like any of this.

Thank you K.M Robinson and netgalley for providing me an ARC for an honest review.

First off...a Jack Frost retelling...yes, please!!! I loved the overall sound of this novel and was so excited to jump in and read it.

When I first began reading it I was slightly disappointed because it felt slow and definitely not what I was expecting. The characters were untreatable and a bit mundane and I didn't like the dynamic of the novel as it felt too similar to another very popular series.

Once I reached the halfway point the plot did thicken and it picked up the pace creating a quicker read and by the end my heart hurt for the overall emotional aspect K.M is so good at achieving. I blazed through the last 15% of the novel and when it ended I was left with a lot of "Oh no" and "What!" S

The relationship between Jack and Gen wasn't my favorite. I had a hard time picturing any character other than Jack which is a real issue for me. The whole dynamic of the bunker and who is in charge is confusing and seems to not be set in stone. It seems that Adam is the actual leader but in reality it seems like Jack is officially the one in charge, it's too up in the air for me to get a solid feel on.

In the end when they take a troop out and it says there's a hundred people with them, I NEVER imagined the bunker being that big or remember any inclination or reference to it being able to hold that many people so I was kind of frustrated with that confusion.

There are a lot of punctuation and spelling errors that can be fixed with one more editing run through.

I will say I had no idea how this was panning out to be a Jack Frost retelling until the very very very end but I loved how K.M turned Jack into this new character but I wish there had been more of a connection. The ending was left open for a sequel which I will definitely want to read.

Overall I loved the idea of this novel and the fact that it could have been a very unique twist on a well know story and I do recommend it to other readers out there who love retellings, a little romance, and survival stories.

First of all, the cover's gorgeous.
Believe me, I've tried to get past page 68 pages. I even took a break from the book, thinking it was me. It's the writing and the main characters really annoyed me especially Genesis. I could not connect with the characters. I mean with the sentence, "She put on a soft smile for him." This is a girl who crushes after a guy. Sorry she would've not have to make an effort to smile softly for a guy if there's such a thing. Just not realistic. The writing felt forced to me. I DNF this book after 68 pages. I'm sorry, I couldn't handle it anymore.
But the cover is is so breathtaking! One star for the book cover.
I received this ARC from Net Galley in return for an honest review

The revolution of Jack Frost was such a fun read ! I absolutely loved the theme behind it and how they were in a “snow globe” of sorts where outsiders studied them and were constantly changing the weather on them. It’s a great read because it not only shows what humans will do to survive but the science fiction involved is incredible ! I loved how outside the globe their was a war waging and families were volunteering their children to go into the study and no one had any knowledge of anything outside the globe .

This book was a nice quick read. It did have parts that didn’t make much sense, and that was too hard to understand, but overall it was an okay read.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own

I knew what was coming at the ending but I was still broken.

The Revolution of Jack Frost is one of the best retelling I have read !! Although I was kinda lost in the beginning, I stuck through it and grew to love the adventure. Once I got to the fourth or fifth chapter, I got a grasp of what was going on and I could clearly imagine the story.

With Jack Frost being one of my favourite characters, I was excited about reading this book. Filled with love, suspicion, and survival, K.M.Robinson brings to life a journey that will question your convictions.

This is the first time reading K.M.Robinson's book and I am hooked !! Now I feel like I need to read all her books because she's like the queen of retelling.

I would recommend those who love retelling and adventure to read this book. It is absolutely stunning.

I received a complimentary copy of this book from Bleeding Ink Publishing through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This wasn't what I was expecting. It is so much better. I am 100% excited for the next book! This take on Jack Frost was really cool and interesting to read. It kind of reminded me of The Maze Runner in a way, but not. If you get my meaning. I really like the whole seasonal change and how each person has a job. The whole bunker works as a well-oiled machine in the short time they have until the winter to keep them supplied. But when things start changing, that 'machine', as it were, adapts to start saying hey look, we need to figure this out. They don't miss a beat. Loved it! 5 stars.

This was just not a good book. I pushed through because it wasn't that long. But the plot was too dull. I felt like I kept stopping. This Revolution of Jack Frost first enticed me because I love Jack Frost, I love Morozko and I thought this would be a cool retelling. it was none of that. This concept was too similar to The Maze Runner for me to even begin to enjoy it. Think of a weather controlled Maze Runner and that's the book. I found the characters to be just random and really had no development whatsoever. Genesis is the main character even though she had no personality unless talking about Jack. I didn't believe in their friendship let alone any romantic feelings. I don't understand why Jack wasn't the MC, he was one mentioned the most. The Hierarchy of the group confused me. I thought Jack was in charge because everyone listened to him, but it was actually someone else.
I didn't read the synopsis before going into this, and maybe that's where I went wrong, but I just saw Jack Frost and thought I'd give it a shot.
Thank you for letting me read this ahead of publication, but it was just not for me.

I couldn't get past the first few chapters. I was lost from the first moment and when it didn't get better, I had to stop.

I loved this take on Jack Frost
Fun, innovated and the writing was great! Really loved the fact that it was unique to the point that J.F. retellings aren't saturating the market.

It's Definiitely Not A Long Book.

I Am SOOOOOOO Sad About This One That I Honestly Didnt Even Want To Review It.

I So Wanted To Love This Because First I Love Jack Frost, Second I Love Snow Globes Haha

But This Story Was A Setback Making The Female Character's Identity All About Being Jack's Girlfriend. I Mean Hell NAH.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!

I'm going to admit, at first with this book I was rolling my eyes at the cheesy romance and waiting for it to pick up, but when it finally did, I found myself really enjoying it! I actually really liked the romantic message; the ability to love someone but not agree with what they are doing, or be able to support it. Sometimes you have to let love go and see what happens, and I did like this difference. There were a few plot holes, and also this edition being an ARC had a few spelling errors. I also felt there were times when things were written too simply; they did this, this happened, then this react. Rinse and repeat. But essentially, I felt like this was a solid read and should present better with some polish.

I can't say I've read many Jack Frost retellings specifically, but I have read many retellings and as they go this one wasn't too bad. I'd recommend this for people who enjoy YA fantasy retellings. Four stars (rounded up from 3.5 because I'm generous and I liked that epilogue)

Thank you NetGalley and Xpresso Book Tours for this ARC.

This was a very cool idea...it just wasn't well executed.

A group of people living in a compound unaware to the fact that they are a part of a science experiment. The weather in this "snow globe" is controlled by Morozoko Industries in a desperate attempt to improve the way humans react, prepare and survive different weather scenarios.

While the concept drew me in, I found the writing so awkward it was difficult to get emotionally invested with any part of the book.
Most of the time it felt like I was reading a progress report instead of a story. It's all very clinical feeling the way everything was overly described and listed instead of emotionally relayed or allowing the reader to paint a part of the picture. There was no room for imagination as a result.

I have seen a lot of people say they felt "ripped off" that this is not more of a Jack Frost story in the "traditional" sense of the character. I disagree.
It's a super neato idea...just needs more development.

In the acknowledgments she mentions this will be a series and that she has already done a short story for accompaniment. I'm not real keen on continuing in this world.
Despite the captivating idea it was very tedious to finish.

I was very disappointed with this book. I could hardly make through the run on sentences, the unfortunate pacing of the plot and setting, and the dialogue of the characters.

While I was very excited to read this books, I was disappointed when the outcome was not what I expected.

The way he sentences were written seemed run on and hard to follow, and to me, as a lover of books, it was hard for me to follow what the author was trying to convey.

The plot line was lost along the way, and the author didn’t seem to follow up on a thought or an action, and moved on to the next scene. In one instance, the author described the strife between two characters in the series, but said that they were good friends. However, the author did not follow up or show any instances that would illustrate their friendship and made it seem confusing.

Another problem I had with the book was the dialogue. The prologue was EXTREMELY confusing, especially since we don’t know about the origins of Jack Frost in the first few pages; it doesn’t tie together well. Also, this may seem harsh, but the girls dialogue said many things that can be taken as dependent upon her (assumed bf) Jack. In one instance the author wrote (paraphrasing) “he gave me the ‘let-your-boyfriend-take-care-of-this-‘look”...? What even?

Unfortunately I will not be reposting my review on Goodreads, just because I do not want my opinion to slander the authors work.

I had an extremely hard time getting into this book. By the time there were only about 150 pages left, I didn't know if I'd actually be able to finish reading it. The story, up to that point, had been dull and slow with unnecessary romance scenes. I was confused as to what was going on most of the time, and had to go back and re-read passages. However, things quickly changed for the better (well...worse) with about 150 pages to go. The action kicked up, I finally got an explanation as to what was going on (which helped make the beginning of the story make way more sense) and it turned in to an honest and true dystopian type story. I was hooked from that point on.

Genesis lives in a snow globe and she is in love with Jack. The people in the snow globe have a rough life...they have winter for a month and then spring, summer, and fall for a brief amount of time where they gather food and supplies to survive the winter. The weather patterns start to change and they discover some technology they have never seen before.

The people in the snow globe don't realize they are being tested to see if they can survive the outside world where bombs are flying daily.

This was an interesting read, but I found it really difficult to believe that the snow globe was hidden underground...and the romance between Gen and Jack was already established, so nothing to lead up to...not sure if I'll read the second book...

Thanks for the ARC.

3.5/5 stars

It took me a while to finish this book as I kept starting and stopping, which usually isn't too good of a sign for me. This book isn't very long, but it just felt so slow. I would stop every few chapters and take a break. The only character I really cared for was Jack, and that's not good considering the POV is from Genesis. I didn't feel like I cared what happened to the children or the "adults", who are basically the oldest ones in the group so they're basically older teens. After a reveal happens, I still found it hard to get myself to care about what happens anywhere else besides the bunker. I found that there was some kind of payoff as we started getting to the last 7 chapters, but it felt like al the great stuff at the end doesn't quite make up for the rest of the book before. There was a quick plot device thrown in one of the last few chapters because we needed a way for everyone to be ok. I personally didn't buy it even though there was a quick, and kinda lackluster, explanation on how this device worked. I thought it was an interesting take on the story of Jack Frost, but I feel like the payoff at the end is ruined by the other 70% of the book. I will say though, the epilogue at the end of this book actually makes me want to pick up the next book. That's why I gave it 3.5 stars, the last 30% was what I wished the beginning and middle would've been like, the execution of the meaning of Jack Frost was a rendition of the origin story, and the epilogue made me forget how much I trudged through this book and makes me want to get the next installment. I'd say read this if you are genuinely interested in a new rendition of the origin story of Jack Frost, especially since the epilogue and acknowledgments promise something much more exciting to continue his story.

I did have any pre-conceived ideas about this book before I started. I was, however, excited to read a re-telling about Jack Frost (not enough on his character in the world). This book was quick paced, exciting and intriguing. It has an interesting mix of science, dystopia and fairy tales. I never felt like the story dragged or got too outrageous. It kept my interest to the end (and even beyond as there are hints of a continuing story?!). I would definitely recommend this to those who like new twist on the old fairy tale characters!

I'm sad to say I dnf'ed this book at about 40%. It was boring and flat, I didn't connect with the writing style and characters at all.

I must say going in, I was pretty excited to start it. This is the first arc I've ever received and it's been a miss for me this time.
Jack Frost has been a favourite of mine for a few years now and I was curious to see how this was going to play out in this book also the cover is absolutely gorgeous.

Sadly, when I read it, I felt like the world building was done very poorly. No explanations about anything and the fact that the author just dumped all these characters on me with no background? Their names became a big blur to me the more I read of this book. Nes, Nathaniel, Eliza, not to even mention the smaller kids all with similar names as well?

Genesis, the main character, felt so one-dimensional to me and even Jack. For all the 40% I read absolutely nothing happened.

A book has to grab your attention and makes you want to continue and this did the complete opposite to me.

When I first saw the cover and synopsis for this book I really excited. This book seemed to have everything I was going to love in. But to put it simply: It fell flat. I had extremely hard time getting into the book and there were too many characters for me to keep up with. A lot is thrown at you at once and it was quite disorienting. Genesis wasn't well fleshed out and I felt like her only purpose was the fact she was Jack's girlfriend.

All in all this isn't one I am going to be recommending but this may be someone else's cup of tea. Sadly, it wasn't mine.
