This is a book that is not so well know as some other books, here at Queenspark, or anywhere, but it is awesome!!! It follows the story of Solveig, her siblings, and a restless army as they wait out winter to see if their father (the king) has triumphed in battle. But they soon find out that there is a traitor in their midst, following Gunnlaug, the opposing king. What will they do to stop him?
In my opinion, this book is actually quite serious. At the begining it reads about how the children end up arriving at their ice sanctuary, and why they are there. The whole story is a build up to an enormous ending, but I think that it felt sort of unfinished. This book is set maybe around the 1800's? I'm not sure really, but it is the time of kings and queens.
I give this book a 8.5/10, just because the ending could have been a bit better. You will soon be able to find this book on the shelves in the library under KIR, but it is still being processed at the moment.
Happy reading,
Sam :)
