Representaion Supposing Books Ice

When Cassie was a little girl, her grandmother told her a fairy tale about her mother, who made a deal with the Polar Bear King and was swept away to the ends of the earth. Now that Cassie is older, she knows the story was a nice way of saying her mother had died. Cassie lives with her father at an Arctic research station, is determined to become a scientist, and has no time for make-believe.

Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Cassie comes face-to-face with a polar bear who speaks to her. He tells her that her mother is alive, imprisoned at the ends of the earth. And he can bring her back — if Cassie will agree to be his bride.

That is the beginning of Cassie's own real-life fairy tale, one that sends her on an unbelievable journey across the brutal Arctic, through the Canadian boreal forest, and on the back of the North Wind to the land east of the sun and west of the moon. Before it is over, the world she knows will be swept away, and everything she holds dear will be taken from her — until she discovers the true meaning of love and family in the magical realm of Ice.

Critique Containing Books Ice

I don't think I'll ever get enough of this story. East of the Sun, West of the Moon is my favourite fairytale of all, and this is a particularly interesting re-telling. I loved the inclusion of science, and the blending of myths from around the world, but somewhere near the end it all got a bit carried away. The characters felt a bit off at times too, or the language never quite matched up to the maturity of the story. Still, a lovely effort.I did miss the golden carding combs, but I think the

I love unconventional love stories! I was amazed by this story. It was one of the most beautiful tales I've read in a long time--a wonderful fairy tale. The writing was not only beautiful but the plot was intriguing that I had to keep reading and didn't want to put the book down. The depictions of the world in the book were described in a way that I felt I was there in the cold arctic (I recommend reading this with a cup of hot chocolate or else you might be shivering).The romance was wonderful.

I didnt know it until after I read the summary of the original fairytale but East was pretty much exactly the same as the original East of the Sun West of the Moon story. Ice deviated a lot, it was just as addictive but a bit odd, honestly.The book is divided into neat halves. The first half is enchanting, full of ice castles and dangerous expeditions and while theres a talking bear and all, its still grounded in reality. The second half is a riot of magic and strange things, its a complete

That 3 stars is a semi-accurate average of what I felt overall - 5 stars for the descriptions of the Arctic and 1 for the - using Sherwood's words here - "deep down underpinnings" of the book. From LJ write-up:I love "East of the Sun, West of the Moon", and the idea of an Arctic research station as the (initial) setting for the story is fantastic. As are the descriptions of the Arctic. I liked Bear a lot too, as he had a lovely dry sense of humour. But the whole Guardian thing made my skin

Beautiful story, but I disliked the romantic aspects. The relationship between Bear and Cassie felt rushed, and in some ways was quite creepy. The Bear used his magic powers to forcibly impregnate her. Cassie had been taking BC because she had no interest in children, yet without telling her or asking for her consent, the Bear "fixed" her "chemical imbalance" caused by the pill using his magic and she was three months preggers before he told her what he had done. I guess this is the paranormal

Please excuse me if I break from my usual review style for ICE. That is because I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. It had everything I wanted from a book of its kind: a feisty female protagonist, epic adventures, luscious writing, and the kind of romance that stops hearts and makes you remember why romance exists in the world. It was love at first sight for me and this book, and our love will continue to evolve and endure as long as my memory does not fail me.From the first page, I was ensnared by
