All right, I am definitely out of the age range of this book and I have apparently outgrown the phase when one-dimension characters in a straightforward plot can win my heart. Now, could they ever? I'm not so sure, but the five-star reviews from young readers show that the book is appreciated and even loved.I decided to give it two stars instead of one for one simple reason: the plot and characters can earn one star at best (since there is no "no-stars" option), while I do see some potential inI give "The Cry of the Icemark" a 10 out of 10. I give it this rating because throughout the book there is a interesting event happening so I just wanted to keep reading it and I couldn't stop sometimes. Also, I give it a 10 out of 10 because the characters in the book just flow right into the plot with the treat of war coming the new young queen Thirrin seeks out to find allies that with help them in the upcoming war between her and the General of the Polypontian Empire Scipio Bellorum.

This is probably one of my favorite books. I first read this when it was published a few years back and fell in love with the Icemark. I wanted to live there. I adored the werewolves, was impressed by the vampires, and LOVED the snow leopards. Thirrin was the perfect young queen. I read this book over and over and over because it gives a new flavor to worn out species and stories. I was stunned to learn Stuart Hill had written more--
I bought this book last 2010 in a book fair at my school and after reading it, set it aside. But now that I rummaged through my library and saw it again, I decided to read it. But then, after I read the first paragraph of the first page, I got hooked just like what happened to me two years ago! With this book, you'll never get bored! What I Love: -The plot and writing style! Excellent made and perfectly-written! I'm not a fan of war books, but because of this masterpiece, it made a boring war
I really wanted to like this book. I really did because fantasy is my favorite genre to read. The concept sounded intriguing, with a warrior girl as the lead protagonist and lots of intense battles. The idea reminded me a bit of Arya Stark.Thirrin was no Arya. Not even close. I would even put her in the category of some of the worst characters I've read. Sounds drastic, but I really could not stand her. She made reading this book painful. I found her to be entirely unbelievable, even for a
The first installment of the Icemark Chronicles by Stuart Hill is set in the fantasy land of the Icemark and follows 14-year-old Princess Thirrin Freer Strong-in-the-arm Lindenshield, Wildcat of the North. When the small land is threatened by the large, industrialized Polypontian Empire Thirrin seeks desperately to find allies to prevent her small land from being destroyed. Werewolves, vampires, witches, and much more exist in the lands around her, but convincing them to fight with her is a
DNF - 249/472I could have finished this one. It wasnt a difficult read and I wasnt struggling to get through the chapters. The problem was that, every time I put the book down, I was actively looking for a reason good enough to not pick it back up. When that feeling hadnt gone away by the half-way point, I officially gave up. In spite of that, I do have a rough idea how the last half of the book goes. I read this in its entirety when I was in middle school or early high school. Because of that,
