I usually don't comment about a book until after I'm done reading it. Before I started this book I kept wondering what was it going to be about. I thought, the general and his crazy sons are dead, so who will they fight in the last battle. Then I mistakeningly read the note from the publisher about how this book will reveal the dimension behind the family conflict, and right away I knew MEDEA was back. Immediately my heart started to race and I dove into the pages. I am only up to page 19 and this chapter is bring and old friend from a great book to memory. Oskan, for now is Mack and the Mother of All is Papa. Oskan has fell into one of his trance and was led by a beautiful messenger to witness the separation between the goddess and the evil one (Cronus). When Cronus, stood judgement before the goddess for the evil that had been done, Mother of All did not condemn him, but instead offered forgiveness and the opportunity to be reunited into the perfection of unity. The evil one, who was filled with hatred, defied the Mother of All, and swore to become victorious one day, even after having his army destroyed. Once Oskan awoke from his trance he didn't know what his role was in this situation(I feel that his daughter Medea is going to be a vital instrument in this evil plan to win the battle against the Mother of All). The messenger informed him that his duty was to stop the evil one and his army. Oskan will receive a weapon from the goddess that will help him defeat the enemy, but it does not contain a physical form, it is not a blade nor gun,fire nor explosion, the user of the weapon will be asked to offer up an unspeakable sacrifice. At this point Oskan is baffled. How is he going to beat this army? The Mother of All in her rightousness can not destroy the army because she(Papa) who is creator of all only offers forgiveness and reconciliation. I believe Oskan(Mack) is going to have to overcome his own personal stuggles, and give of himself what he thought he wasn't capable of giving. Which is? One of the fruits of the Spirit(Mack was asked by Papa to offer Missy murderer forgiveness). This is just my personal insight of this story so far. I can't wait to find out how it all turns out. So, bye for now!I finished the book. It was Awesome and I was right. The goddess did ask Oskan to give a fruit of the Spirit; it was LOVE. This book was intense with so many battles going on. Erinor, the new Basilea in town is crazier than Scipio. When she was eight years old she sacrifices her pet because she believes this will make the goddes happy. So to ensure she wins the war against Queen Thirrin she sacrifices some animals, her tri-horn, and while she's at it, why not throw a husband in the mix. Then you have Medea the second or is it the third most powerful Adept, trying to take over the phyiscal world and the spiritual realm with her evil grandfather,Cronus. I love when the Vampire Queen calls her a brat having a tantrum. I was so happy when the Vampire King came back to get the queen with their children(that was made from their dreams and wishes). Much love to Oskan who is my hero. Each time he fought Medea he did it as a loving father. At one point I just wanted him to take her out. Forget about taking away her powers, she needs to go! Instead he is obedient to the commands of the Mother of All, who tells him how to deal with Medea. Which leaves him not feeling guilty about the whole situation. Didn't you just love Cressida and Leonidas, he was a nervous wreck and she was determined. It was so embarrassing when the werewolves and housecarls would make their little innuendoes at their expense. So I was thrilled when she asked and he said umm.. I..I think umm... yes.
Even though the battles were won, My heart aches for Queen Thirrin. She might have gained a son in-law, an alliance with the polypontians, and an Emperor who needs a mother, but none of that can replace her Oskan, who she will never see again until the last hair on her head becomes the silver of moonlight. As Oskan watches the Wedding reception with a crown of silver light upon his head, I am elated that he is among his family, but I'm sad that the story is over.

Don't you know that moment when you haven't read an author's books for so long that when you do open one, it's awkward at first? The first few pages seem fast, childishly written, and you just can't seem to fall into them. Same scenario with this one. I've been away from Icemark for so long, I had forgotten Hill's narrative. I have to still credit him with being the greatest battle narrator. Ever. (Then again, I haven't read Tolkien's trilogy. Oh the shame. *Bangs head on wall.*)*Spoilers in theI think that Stuart Hill wrote this one in a hurry as if he just wanted to finish the series. Compared to the first 2, a bit of a disappointment. Still, the book had some good parts and the vivid imagination of the author is still great.
I so enjoyed the first two books of this series, and this lived up to the expectations they set. I loved the strong, loving, tough, vulnerable, messy and wonderful characters, human and otherwise, and the book's message of the enduring power of love.

"That's enormously kind of you, but I'm afraid I'm just an old reprobate who expects his drink to make his head spin when he's had too much. Sometimes the infidel is beyond help, eh, Mekhmet?" Magieore Totus - pg 35. Sometimes people never change and certainly not in the third book of The Icemark Chronicles. We're back in Icemark as a new and more horrible threats are frightening the country. Now Thirrn, Queen of Icemark must lead her people against a more powerful enemy, Erinor and her
The final book in the Icemark series, entitled The Last Battle of the Icemark, follows all the characters of the first two books but is told mainly through Thirrin and Charlemagne. The Polypontian Empire is back with a great vengeance, but the greatest danger lies within the castle walls. The powerful witch that started her revengeful plans in Blade of Fire is now at the peak of her strength, and she will sacrifice everything to ruin the lives of the Royal Family. Compared to the first two books
The last of the series recommended to my by my son who has since completely gone off reading. (a source of constant pain for me, Mr Love reading. I cannot help but worry that my over enthusiasm has now turned both of my children away from a lifetime source of joy for me.)I know that it is labeled as a YA book and so is sneered at by many who feel that they are somehow above all of this but I am very much of the opinion that a good book is a good book no matter who it is written for. Hence all
