The Ice Dragon by George R.R Martin
HarperCollins, 2014. ISBN 9780008118853
(Age: 7+) Recommended.
'The ice dragon breathed death into the world; death and quiet and
cold. But Adara was not afraid. She was a winter child, and the ice
dragon was her secret.'
For centuries the ice dragon has been a symbol of fear. It cannot be
stopped. It cannot be tamed by any man. But Adara is different. She
is a child of winter; born during the worst freeze to ever hit for
as long as anyone could remember. But then, on the year of her
seventh birthday, fiery dragons with soldiers on their backs attack
Adara's home. And the only way to save is everyone, is for the child
of winter and the dragon that loved her, to fight the dragons of
summer.
I would recommend this book to children of both genders. Aged 7 and
up. I would also recommend this book to people who prefer to read
shorter books as this novel mainly consists of pictures.
This book from the author of Game of Thrones is a novel,
that while fast moving, is in depth and is a must read for all Game
of Throne fans.
