A review by ldv
The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman

2.0

Nothing special. My main comment is that the narrator tries to convince you she's this cold, unfeeling person, but she's got a lot of emotions for someone who supposedly doesn't care. Maybe she's just trying to convince herself, because I wasn't fooled. The reader for this audio tried to convey the cold characterization, but it just comes across as monotone or disdainful. It doesn't work. It could be an interesting book if you're obsessed with lightning strikes, but that's just a plot device in the novel.
