This book is okay. As it's set in the olden days, i was a little skeptical about reading it, and turned out i was right. I prefer reading modern books so this wasn't exactly my kind of book. It was also a little bit tedious. When Thirrin is going through the woods, they don't need to apply so much detail, because at the end of the day, they're crossing the wood. For those who enjoy violent books set in the old days, this might be your sort of book. Overall, for me this book is 3 stars.

When her father dies nobly in battle, fourteen-year-old Thirrin becomes Queen of the Icemark, a tiny kingdom for ever caught between dangerous neighbours. Thirrin must raise an army to protect her people from seemingly invincible Imperial invaders. Her search for allies takes her beyond her northern borders, to former enemies in the Land-of-the-Ghosts and onwards to the frozen Hub of the World. But can she save her kingdom?
