Hill, Stuart. The Cry of the Icemark. U.K.:The Chicken House, 2005. 490 pages. (Fantasy)The Cry of the Ice Mark was about a 14 year old princess, Thirrin. When her father Redrought is killed in a brutal battle against Scipio Bellorum, she has to take on the title of queen. Thirrin is not going to win against Bellorum without help, so she needs to find allies and fast, but when you are surrounded with creatures that hate you or don’t even know you exist it is kind of difficult. Thirrin tries her best and winds up with some of the fiercest creatures in all the land: giant snow leopards, vampires, werewolfs, and a young warlock. Thirrin has a great amount of battle knowledge from her father, but it is difficult to juggle between being in love with your main adviser and having to deal with a coming war…….can Thirrin do it all?
I enjoyed this book immensely and would recommend it to anyone. Stuart Hill is a wonderful author and I look forward to reading the rest of this series and any future books he writes. The Cry of the Icemark is amazing, because I couldn’t put it down as soon as I started reading it!
