branomir 's review for:
The Ice Dragon
by George R.R. Martin
First off, let me say that I am in love with this edition, beautifully illustrated by one of my favourite artists: Luis Royo. (Ashton, if you're reading this, thank you for the wonderful gift, you are the best!)
I was a little nervous going in to this as Mr Martin and I don't always see eye to eye. I'm definitely not the biggest fan of ASOIAF or GoT even though I do read/watch them. This one however, did not dissapoint. It's a beautiful story with just the right amount of sadness thrown and I absolutely loved it. The only thing which threw me a bit was the ending. At first I didn't really like it but when I found myself still thinking about it and what it could mean an hour later, I had to admit that if a book can do that to me than it is a pretty friggin good book. Highly recommended, especially if you can find this edition.
Edit: After pondering it over a little bit more, I do have to state that the ending could have been done better. So the book isn't flawless, however I still stand by my rating.
