Icefall

Icefall by Matthew J. Kirby

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Matthew Kirby is a great storyteller. This book,although not really following the current trends that I see students picking up in the library, I think it is a book they will truly enjoy. It is the story of Solveig, the daughter of a king, who is waiting patiently for her father's return with her crown prince younger brother and her older sister in a hidden fortress surrounded by mountains and a frozen sea. Although her father has sent men to protect the royal children, it soon becomes apparent that someone evil is part of the group. Suspense builds as they wait through the long winter. Through the problems, Solveig finds out her true self. Young or older readers will warm to this well-written tale of Solveig. Kirby hints a sequel may follow.
