Ilustration During Books Ice

When Cassie was a little girl, her grandmother told her a fairy tale about her mother, who made a deal with the Polar Bear King and was swept away to the ends of the earth. Now that Cassie is older, she knows the story was a nice way of saying her mother had died. Cassie lives with her father at an Arctic research station, is determined to become a scientist, and has no time for make-believe.

Then, on her eighteenth birthday, Cassie comes face-to-face with a polar bear who speaks to her. He tells her that her mother is alive, imprisoned at the ends of the earth. And he can bring her back — if Cassie will agree to be his bride.

That is the beginning of Cassie's own real-life fairy tale, one that sends her on an unbelievable journey across the brutal Arctic, through the Canadian boreal forest, and on the back of the North Wind to the land east of the sun and west of the moon. Before it is over, the world she knows will be swept away, and everything she holds dear will be taken from her — until she discovers the true meaning of love and family in the magical realm of Ice.

Crit Of Books Ice

Please excuse me if I break from my usual review style for ICE. That is because I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS BOOK. It had everything I wanted from a book of its kind: a feisty female protagonist, epic adventures, luscious writing, and the kind of romance that stops hearts and makes you remember why romance exists in the world. It was love at first sight for me and this book, and our love will continue to evolve and endure as long as my memory does not fail me.From the first page, I was ensnared by

Make sure to break out your winter coat because you are in for one epic Arctic adventure! ICE is a beautiful, engrossing tale of impossible love and sacrifice that drew me in right from the very first page.Cassie is the eighteen year old daughter of an arctic research scientist who has long forgotten the fairy tales her grandmother told as a young child. Her grandmother had told her that Cassie's mother was imprisoned by the trolls after making a deal with the polar bear king. Cassie had come to

This is a retelling of East o' the Sun, West o' the Moon, which some of you know I have also retold. (My version is called Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow.) I have been curious and excited to see Sarah Beth's take on my favorite fairy tale, having loved Edith Pattou's East as well.So how is it?Amazing!Ice is set not in Ye Olde Tymes, but in our century, and begins at an Arctic research station. Cassie has been raised there by her father, the head of the research team, and dreams only of continuing

I didnt know it until after I read the summary of the original fairytale but East was pretty much exactly the same as the original East of the Sun West of the Moon story. Ice deviated a lot, it was just as addictive but a bit odd, honestly.The book is divided into neat halves. The first half is enchanting, full of ice castles and dangerous expeditions and while theres a talking bear and all, its still grounded in reality. The second half is a riot of magic and strange things, its a complete

I love unconventional love stories! I was amazed by this story. It was one of the most beautiful tales I've read in a long time--a wonderful fairy tale. The writing was not only beautiful but the plot was intriguing that I had to keep reading and didn't want to put the book down. The depictions of the world in the book were described in a way that I felt I was there in the cold arctic (I recommend reading this with a cup of hot chocolate or else you might be shivering).The romance was wonderful.

I have always loved the tale East of the sun, west of the moon, and that is why I wanted to read this re-telling.It's a modern version. Cassie learns that those fairy tales she heard from her grandmother are true. Her mother is being held by trolls, and Cassie is promised to the polar bear king.Cassie was a clever girl. She lived at a arctic research station so she knew the wild (which is needed later on).The story, well if you know the basics of the other story then you know this one. With a

I was way beyond excited when I heard this book was going to come out. Frankly I was downright giddy with excitement. Like many other reviewers have mentioned I had already read East and Sun and Moon, Ice and Snow so I'm already familar with the old Nordic tale. I'm not going to say I didn't like it, I did, but it's hard for me to give it a hearty recommendation.Cassie is a modern girl, but in her own way is quite different from your "normal" teenage girl. She has been raised by her father and
