 This was absolutely lovely, though I'm not sure what fantasy world I was living in when I thought that a "children's book" by GRRM would be anything like other children's books! To be fair, this book is probably about as happy and hopeful of a story as ol' George is capable of writing. 😂

I was reading this to my 6-year-old and am very grateful that he wasn't interested enough in the plot to complain when we "forgot" to read the last couple of chapters together, because he's a very compassionate and empathetic sort who gets his little heart broken every time anything bad happens to a character, and I'm not sure he could have handled the ending of this one. ♥

3.0

this was a nice story and i loved the idea of ice dragons and how being able to touch them made someone special. 
i didn’t like how fight went down or how it seems that the dragons where a relatively small part and almost easily forgotten by everyone in the book of the story for playing a big role in the story.

still overall a nice story and k would recommend it if you don’t mind fantasy animal deaths.
