She was a skilled warrior and believed she could overcome any obstacle in her path. Undeterred by the warnings of the curse, she pressed on, convinced that she could defy fate and claim the treasure for herself. As Amelia ventured deeper into the frozen tundra, she encountered various challenges and dangers. She battled mythical creatures, traversed treacherous terrain, and faced harsh weather conditions.

From that day forward, Amelia's life took a turn for the worse. She faced immense hardship and tragedy at every corner. Her loved ones perished, her health deteriorated, and her mind became consumed with darkness. The power and immortality promised by the frigid treasure had become a curse that she could never escape. Amelia soon realized that the frigid treasure brought not only eternal life but also eternal misery.

Overall, it felt like a lazy attempt to cash in on a popular genre without any effort put into creating a compelling and engaging story.
2. Emily - 1 star - I couldn't even finish reading "Curse of the frigid treasure". From the very beginning, the writing was lackluster and filled with cliches. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and unrealistic, making it difficult to connect with the characters. Additionally, the plot was convoluted and nonsensical, with too many subplots that went nowhere. I regret wasting my time and money on this poorly executed book.
