Book: Ice Fall
Author: Matthew J. Kirby
The book for this book talk is "Ice Fall" by Matthew Kirby. The genre of this book is mystery and suspense fantasy. The setting of this book is in a huge ravine with only one way out which was through the frozen fjord which was the ocean pass that was frozen for the winter. This story took place a very long time ago when there were dragons, kings, queens, and castles and you had to live off the land such as harvesting crops because there was no Walmart. The main character in this book is solveig. She is the second daughter of the king she might not be beautiful like her sister but she is really smart and resourceful she has light gray hair like a leaf in autumn and a pale face. The struggle that she had to go through was that she had to find what she was which is in total what her part in life would be. She wanted to be a skald, a skald is a worker for the king that tells magnificent stories to him and his men. The challenge about this was that she was of royal blood so she did not know if her father would approve of her being a skald. The reason that she wanted this job because she was good at it and she made every body happy when she told her stories. What I think the mood through out the book was suspicion. I think this because there was a mole that had infiltrated them but they do not know or have any idea who it was all they know was that he, her, or they wanted them dead. I think that the theme of the story was that you can be whatever that you want to be. I think that this was the theme because through out the book the second daughter which was the main character wanted to be a skald so bad but she was royal blood but even though that was in her way she still decided that she wanted to be a skald.
