Soldiers of Ice by David Zeb Cook
4.0
This was a hard one to rate. Looking into the elements of writing the book doesn't present anything that's good enough for four stars. Characters, setting, magic, world building, plot etc. are all mediocre. But they all support each other in a balanced way.
"A different Harper" from the ones in the novels so far, different in a refreshing way, with various growing connections to different people in the world around her.
This one, as well, is to be read more as an adventure than a story book, but it's an adventure with lots of little story threads left here and there. The book doesn't focus on any of those stories, but makes sure the reader knows of their existence. This is another example of elements supporting each other well.
If you're looking for soldiers made of ice, there aren't any, though. There are gnolls and gnomes in frosting landscape instead.
