The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill
3.0
Not the most amazing book in the world, but it's entertaining. Coming of age story of a young princess, Thirrin, who lives in the small country of the Icemark, which stands between a large empire set on ruling the world, and the country of the Ghosts (or something to that effect), which ruled by vampires. The empire attacks on her fourteenth birthday and she has to forge alliances with the living legends on her northern border in order to repel the military advances of the empire and it's ruthless general, Scipio.
Anyway. I'm relatively certain it's a first novel and has first novel flaws but on the whole it's (again) entertaining, enough so that I'd be interesting in visiting the world again in future installments.
