Song of the Ice Lord
Amazon.com link
My review -
The
Ice Lord is an uber-villain who cannot be killed. He has devastated the world,
and only three tribes remain to stand in his way, if they can. A ‘Maker’ – an inventor,
who lost a hand in battle – and a bard, make a strong bond. Between them, they come
up with a plan, instigated by a dream of the Maker’s in which the spirits of
ships lend him aid.
This
is a lyrical work, filled with the traditional stories of the tribes, and it
reminded me of some of the Norse tales. It took the form of a journey to a
final show-down and, although drenched in bloody battle, the characters are warm
and beguiling. Fantasy at its best. I really enjoyed this book.
