Frostheart Books in Order By Jamie Littler
“It’s a yeti folk song, older than I am, if you can believe that,” Yanpa said. “It tells of two lovers torn apart by fate. They spend their lives searching but, alas, are unable to find each other. Both die, their souls returning to the earth. But it is here, at last, after a lifetime apart, that they’re reunited. Overjoyed, they dance together into eternity, surrounded by all the twining souls in the great World Weave. For we are all connected, and those that leave us are never truly lost.”

Way out in the furthest part of the known world, a tiny stronghold exists all on its own, cut off from the rest of human-kin by monsters that lurk beneath the Snow Sea.
There, a little boy called Ash waits for the return of his parents, singing a forbidden lullaby to remind him of them… and doing his best to avoid his very, VERY grumpy yeti guardian, Tobu.
But life is about to get a whole lot more crazy-adventurous for Ash.

Ash faces his greatest challenge yet as the evil Wraith leader Shaard unleashes the dreaded Devourer from its centuries-long imprisonment. Only by uniting can the peoples of the Snow Sea hope to stand against the monster’s wrath, but as the Devourer targets the stronghold of Aurora, the tribes remain as divided as ever.
In a last desperate move, Ash and the crew of the Frostheart journey to the yeti lands, where humans are forbidden, in search for the truth about the Devourer’s origins, and the one weakness that may prove its undoing…
“It can’t always be like this! Groups of people fearing each other – it’ll never end,” Ash pleaded.

Overall
While these books are aimed at younger audiences (6-11 year olds), I found myself enjoying this trilogy immensely. There are moments of raw emotion mixed with comedy around a great adventure. Filled with amazing illustrations from the man himself, he created a truly engaging and immersive world that I struggled to put down. These books are one hundred percent worth your time!
