Jack Frost
Jack Frost: The End Becomes the Beginning | William Joyce
8 posts | 2 read | 6 to read
The Guardians powers are put to the ultimate test in their final battle in this conclusion to the epic chapter book series from William Joyce. When we last saw the Guardians, they were celebrating their victory during Bright Night, the final great Battle of the Moon, where they defeated Pitch once and for all. Or so they thought. Now, many years later, the Guardians have settled into their final selves, embracing their public images and the Earth Holidays. But the world has not been without evil since Pitchs imprisonment. First there was the World War, then The Crash which has led to what the humans call a Great Depression. All the Guardians feel the weight of these events, but Jack Frostnow half human, half of his former self Nightlightfeels it the most. Jacks transition from Nightlight to Guardian was not an easy one. Always inclined to keep to himself, Jack has become especially isolated from the other Guardians since his transformation. Yet it is Jack who Ombric Shalazar (once a great wizard, now known as Father Time) trusts with a tremendous secret. But for Jack to fully understand this secret, he must revisit his pastand finally tell his story. Jacks story, however, isnt the only one to be reopened; an old enemy whose chapter we thought closed will reappear and with him bring a darkness and destruction that will test the Guardians like never before. Its a battle of superlativesthe worse fighting the greatest, but where, oh where, is Jack?

Certainly my least favorite of the series, but a solid conclusion. There is a huge time jump, but then probably more than half the book is in flashback. And, while the rest of the series can be treated as a prequel to the movie, this came out several years after the movie and kinda ignores the film. It was a weird pivot after the author had stated that he wanted the books and the movie to share the same world, just in different eras.

1. I have a hard time deciding, so probably a Chimera: In Greek mythology, the Chimera was a fire-breathing mythical creature, usually depicted as a lion merged with a goat and a snake, which was related to monsters such as Cerberus. However, the term chimera is now often used to describe any creature that is a hybrid of multiple animals

2. The tagged series has a fun mix of fantastical creatures

My progress on Rebecca is slow, but steady. Jack Frost and Killers of the Flower Moon are my BookSpin selections this month. The weather is still cold, but the sun is at a reasonable schedule :)

TieDyeDude @emz711 I bought it shortly after it came out, but just haven't gotten to it yet. My board could be half full with just V.E. Schwab books :) 10mo

This series is awesome and we are getting a new book. If you have watched Rise of the Guardians this is the series it was based on. And this year they rereleased all the books with new covers. These are a great way to celebrate the holidays. All of them.
