About:
'The Secret Ministry of Frost' follows the story of Light, an albino girl of Inuit and Irish descent, who lives in a manor in Ireland. After the mysterious disappearance of her father during an Arctic expedition, she begins to delve into her father's love for the Arctic and Inuit traditions. This exploration leads her to confront various creatures from the North, including a shark-headed man named Tupilak. As she embarks on a journey to rescue her father from Frost, the king of the cold, Light finds herself in a terrifying adventure within a kingdom of ice, navigating through Inuit mythology and folklore.
The writing style is described as fluid and engaging, drawing readers into the atmospheric setting of the story. However, opinions suggest that while the initial premise and atmosphere are captivating, the narrative sometimes loses focus and becomes overly descriptive, making it hard for readers to stay engaged. Despite this, the unique blend of Inuit mythology with a contemporary adventure framework provides an interesting twist, appealing to both young adults and older readers alike.
