Critic reviews

"Heather O'Neill is especially terrific voicing the alternating self-doubt and confidence of young Thirrin." ( AudioFile)

WE NEED THE OTHER 3 BOOKS

I love this series. I followed it from the release of book one years ago and have all in print. When I got Audible and this was shown I immediately got it and loved it. However, there are 4 books and Audible only has the first. I highly recommend the series for those who love fantasy novels.

slow start, great story

It took me a long time to actually listen to this book. I had a hard time getting through the first chapter.Once I did that I couldn't stop listening. The story is well written and narrated. I WANTED THE STORY TO CONTINUE.

this book is so great the story is inspiring

I first physically read cry of the Icemark. then I found it on audible I can listen to the story over and over again it's that good. the narrator is amazing! definitely a classic to keep around!

Well done.

This book was an enjoyable YA epic fantasy that kept me involved for the duration. Well written, interesting characters interplay in a struggle for a kingdom's survival. Be prepared for a number of battle scenes.

If you like old times combat and war- this is an excellent book.

It has many similarities to the series Rangers apprentice in the style of combat and the focusing on the main character who is both young and has to deal with medieval armies. The world is rich with a diverse culture and realistic attributes like the deeper traditions of the Viking culture. Excellent book for teenagers and people who like a good female main character
