A review by aoosterwyk
The Cry of the Icemark by Stuart Hill

2.0

Lirren of Lindenshield is made the queen of Icemark (Vikings?) when she is only a teenager. Her land is under seige by the invincible armies of the south (modeled after Rome?). To stand a chance of surviving, Lirren must find allies and she travels to the lands in the north to find them: vampires, werepeople, giant snow leopards and soldiers of the forest. I had nearly had enough by the end of the novel, but in the last chapter a new player was introduced. I may read one more just to find out what happens next.
