The Ice Dragon book review

The Ice Dragon by George R. R. Martin
























Hardcover128 pages
Read: Dec. 14
Rating: 5/5
Genres: Fantasy
Summery: In the world of A Song of Ice and Fire the ice dragon was a creature of legend and fear, for no man had ever tamed one. When it flew overhead, it left in its wake desolate cold and frozen land. But Adara was not afraid. For Adara was a winter child, born during the worst freeze that anyone, even the Old Ones, could remember.
Adara could not remember the first time she had seen the ice dragon. It seemed that it had always been in her life, glimpsed from afar as she played in the frigid snow long after the other children had fled the cold. In her fourth year she touched it, and in her fifth year she rode upon its broad, chilled back for the first time. Then, in her seventh year, on a calm summer day, fiery dragons from the North swooped down upon the peaceful farm that was Adara’s home. And only a winter child—and the ice dragon who loved her—could save her world from utter destruction.

Review: This story starts Adara who waits for winter every year. According to the summery the ice dragon is also in the world of A Song Of Ice and Fire, I wouldn't know since I have not seen the series nor have I read the book. I really liked this story. It's a children's story  I would have loved when I was younger, I love it even now at 22. The Illustrations are beautiful. The relationship between Adara and the Ice Dragon in this book was a subtle but nice relationship. I also liked the subtle character growth in this book as well. I really liked this story.

Hope everybody had/has a great day : )
