The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill
5.0
I read this book years ago when I was around 9 years old. Curious, I wanted to see if it held up for adult readers.
I was not disappointed. This book is chock-full of amazing descriptions, great characters and friendships, and heart-pounding battles. It's definitely war fantasy, and I'm surprised that it's marketed towards younger readers. The beginning had writing that seemed that way, but the deeper you get into the book, the more mature the writing becomes. Honestly a very good book. Can't wait to start the second one.
P.S. Also a great critique on imperialism, and industrialization at the expense of others.
