The Cry of the Icemark
Review By: Lily
Date: April 23, 2015
Overall Grade: A B C D E F + -
My thoughts on this book:
Thirrin Lindenshield is next in line for the crown. She doesn't care to learn about anything unless it has to do with weapons or war. She must learn to trust her friends and herself if she is to win the war. As cheesy as this may sound, from this book, I have learned to trust my friends because they will always be there you. They might be a bit late, but they will be there.
Memorable ideas or quotes:
Quotes:
"Small or not, Master Pussycat, I will not go back, unless, of course, I take your head as a trophy for my wall."
*Insight: Thirrin's temper can help her make alliances or get her in a lot of trouble.

My thoughts on this book:
This is the second book in the series. I don't really think you need to read the books in order to understand it. But, if you want to get more discriptions of the characters, I would say to read the first book.
Memorable ideas or quotes:
No, quote really stood out to me.

My thoughts on this book:
I think the Maze Runner was a great way to kick off this amazing series. It provides excitement for those of us who love fighting in a book, and is very thought provoking for a reader who likes to think about the book or disscuss with similarly obsessed friends. It draws out the mysterious air of the book without leaving you with no information. All in all, even reluctant readers will love this book.
Memorable ideas or quotes:
"Just Folllow me and run like your life depends on it. Because it does."
"If you ain't scared, you ain't human."

My thoughts on this book:
This book is like a Nancy Drew for older children. The book is about a girl who uses the idea that "girls aren't that smart" and only "listen when talked to" to help her. Mary Quinn, a formal criminal now must work in finding what happened to all of the sunken ships. There are some parts that are confusing and I had to read it over again. Mary uses what she learned from her old days of being a thief. There is some some romance, but it is less or about the same amount of Divergent.
Memorable ideas or quotes:
Idea:
Girls can be and often are smarter than boys
Quotes:
"Here, we turn the stereotype of the meek female servant to our advantage. Because women are believed to to foolish, silly, and weak, ... more effectively than a man in a similar position."
"... we find that women - posing as governesses or domestic servants, for example - are often totally ignored."
Rate for this book:
3.5/5
