,
Das ist der Kampfschrei der Kinderkönigin Thirrinim Endkampf,
und im großen und ganzen die Handlung des Buches,
Viel mehr findet nicht statt, wenn man von Thirrin kurzer Suche nach Verbündeten mal absieht,
Ich bin dieser "Game of Thrones" Variante für Kinder überdrüssig, in der Krieg schlussendlich nur heroisiert wird 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 inth grade from my school's Scholastic book fair, I read that copy numerous times over the years too many to count, to be honest and my paperback copy has fallen apart as a result, I love this book, and I am so thrilled that it has stood the test of time,
Strong female main character,years old, who has a heartwarming relationship with her father,
A developed friendship.
No romance.
Vampires, Wolffolk, sentient Giant Snow Leopards, Witches all working together to fight off the invading Empire,
Fantastic world building.
I would highly recommend! Still one of my all time favourites, This trilogy has my heart forever, It's such a wonderful YA fantasy! Este libro muestra una emocionante fantasía ambientada en un mundo donde, a pesar de ser ficticio, podemos notar ciertos toques de historia, Los polipontanos se comportan como el imperio romano, cuyo objetivo era extenderse por todo el mundo, y las tierras de Thyrrin recuerdan a los escandinavos,
La amenaza del imperio parece real, de verdad sientes que Thyrrin tiene una tarea demasiado pesada sobre sus hombros, sin embargo, su pueblo demuestra con creces que son un país pequeño pero duro de roer.
La acción y las escenas de lucha son geniales y emocionantes, no demasiado sangrientas, y están tan bien escritas que imaginas cada detalle a la perfección, Aplaudí a Thyrrin y sus guerreros y odié al general Scipio Bellaron, Me encantaron los hombres lobo y los leopardos de nieve, ambos grupos tienen un montón de personalidad, y los vampiros son muy espeluznantes,
Thyrrin me encantó, Es una líder joven y feroz que se enfrenta a una fuerza invasora descomunal y, al mismo tiempo, debe aprender sobre la marcha sobre liderazgo, valor y humanidad, También me gustó mucho Oskan, el Hijo de la Bruja, Un chico algo torpe que no se considera gran cosa a pesar de esconder un poder y sabiduría inmensas, Se convierte en un buen compañero para Thyrrin, capaz de enfrentarse a su arrogante amiga y calmar sus temores, Ella es todo corazón y él la mente, son la pareja perfecta,
Es un libro con todos los ingredientes necesarios para una lectura atrayente, lleno de acción, aventura, fantasía, romance y drama, La historia es original y la narración buena, Es un libro que gustará a quienes hayan leído Crónicas del Mundo Emergido o Eragon, Todos ellos son libros que enganchan desde el principio y que no puedes dejarlos hasta que los terminas!

RESEÑA COMPLETA: sitelink blogspot. com/ "Cry of the Icemark" is one of the most sickeningly misogynistic YA stories I have ever had the misfortune of reading, Im surprised at how many readers have managed to delude themselves into thinking that Hill has written a female rolemodel in Therin, considering how antagonistic and hateful she is toward all the other female characters she meets in the book literally, all of them, and her constant insistence on surrounding herself with no one but men.
Even her animal companions are male, At one point, Therin states that women in a positions of power are UNNATURAL, Her own advisor has to remind her that she is in fact a woman in a position of power, Her answer is that she is a special case because SHE was raised by a man, What
To top it all off, this author writes with the verbal capacity of ayearold emulating Tolkien and manages to make even battle scenes tedious and boring.
All of the characters were cookiecutter personality types that I cared nothing about, I really cant understand the good reviews for this book, It's like "Twilight" for wannabe swordandsorcery buffs, From the outset, this story seems contrived and not very deeply thought out, The story begins with a detailed historybook style narrative of the kingdom of Icemark breaking the vaunted "show, don't tell" rule, and then moves on into some very "staged" plot devices.
Example: In the second chapter, the "werewolf" our heroine has captured and brought back to her father's castle Aren't werewolves supposed
to change back into human form at some point If not, it's not "were," it's just a "wolf.
" announces to everyone in the hall that he is king of the werewolves, Seems to me that if you were a king in the clutches of your enemies, you might not want to make a big announcement of that fact, I didn't read much further than that, Because this story is quite transparent and contrived, it might make a nice introduction for very young readers into the realm of fantasy literature but older readers and adults are likely to be bored with it pretty quickly.
Τρομερό βιβλίο!Η Θιρίν και ο Όσκαρ είναι και οι δύο πολύ δυναμικοί και γενναίοι χαρακτήρες και η χημεία μεταξύ τους απίστευτη!Δεν έχω διαβάσει ούτε έχω δει το game of thrones αλλά σύμφωνα με την πλοκή αυτό το βιβλίο μου το θυμίζει πολύ! A brave girl must defy an empire to save her homeland in a sweeping fantasy that combines breathless action with richlyimagined characters,
After the death of her beloved father, headstrong princess Thirrin Freer StrongInTheArm becomes warrior queen of her homeland, Icemark, defending it from a formidable invader, Despite Thirrin's bravery and the support of Oskan, the Witch's son, the task proves more difficult than Thirrin ever dreamed, She must assemble a force to rival her opponent, And, in the chill winter of Icemark, she only has until spring to unite the strange beasts and frightening creatures who live just outside her country, Ultimately, it is Thirrin's vision and determination that will see her through to victory,
Book Details: Format: Hardcover Publication Date:Pages:Reading Level: Ageand Up Cry of the Icemark was a stirring military fantasy adventure, The author really took the time to bring the cultures of this novel to life, I could see that Icemark people seemed to be modelled after the Scandinavians, while Thyrrin's mother's peoples, the Hypollitan must have been based on the Amazons, And the Polipontans seemed to be like the Roman Empire, The battle scenes were fantasticthrilling and very wellwritten, I got the impression that Mr, Hill took these elements very seriously and worked hard to get this part right and make it feel realistic, And I appreciated that, and I am sure that his younger readers probably do as well, Although not excessively gory, I felt all the inherent threat and bloody nature of battle, The element of loss is very evident in this story, and I definitely could appreciate the horrible odds that Thyrrin's people faced with an enormous invading force pitted against their smaller country.
However, the Icemark people quickly proved that they wouldn't easily be conquered, Along with their fierce nature, there were elements of their rich sense of family and tradition, many aspects that would have been destroyed or wiped away by the Polipontans, who cared nothing for other cultures, only the assimilation of their lands and raw resources.
Thyrrin is a young heroine that I just loved, She was born to be a queen, and she showed a multifacetedness to her character that brought her to vivid life, She's very strong and the kind of leader you want to have when you are facing a mammoth invading force who wants to wipe your people off the face of the earth.
On the other hand, it's clear that she is very young and still learning a lot about leadership, courage, and humanity, I really wanted to give her a hug for all that she dealt with in this novel, I loved her friend, Oskan, Witch's Son too, He had a mystique, and a wisdom that was much greater than his young years, I also loved his wry sense of humor and the fact that he never took himself too importantly, despite his incredible latent power, He was a good companion to Thyrrin, able to deal with her sometimes hotheaded arrogance, and to soothe her very recognizable fears with the voice of reason and comfort when she seemed like she couldn't handle one more burden.
In fact, most of the characters were welldrawn and excellently narrated by Heather O'Neill, This book really got me sucked in, I found myself cheering for Thyrrin and her warriors the Hypollitan warrior women were freaking awesome, and hating General Scipio Bellaron, I loved the werewolves and the snow leopards, both groups having a ton of personality, The vampires were nicely creepy, and the wood folk like the Green men and nature spirits of Celtic/Norse mythology added a sense of majestic awe to this story, This book would have great as just a straight military historical fantasy, but the supernatural elements elevated it to an even more interesting level,
There was so much to like about this story, It really got me revved up, I was excited to listen to it, and sad but satisfied when it ended, It was definitely a five star listen for this reader, I look forward to the reading the other books in this series, Recommended!
