Linus is Bryn’s latest Changeling charge. Don’t worry, if you haven’t read the Trylle series, all of this is explained in the book through the character Linus. Some have gills to help them breathe under water, others have telekinesis, and others have sensing abilities (internal GPS) and skin that can change with moods or surroundings. These trolls look like people, but have special abilities. But these aren’t Tolkien trolls like in The Lord of the Rings. The Kanin are a troll tribe (in the same world as the Trylle troll tribe). It debunks the fantasy of sparks flying at first site or touch (like many YA romances). Similarly, Bryn and Ridley’s relationship is based off of a friendship that grows. The switch gave the relationship a more genuine feel, because it built over time, compared to a love-at-first-site story. In fact, that was one of the first YA books I read that switched the main love interest half way through the series. I thought Hocking created an interesting world, and realistic relationships. I read the series a few years ago and remember liking it. If you’ve read Amanda Hocking’s Trylle trilogy, Frostfire will sound familiar.
