A review by kinosthesia
The ice queen by Alice Hoffman

5.0

I'm sure anyone who sees my ratings for Alice Hoffman books might think I am a little biased towards her writing, but its the truth that I really am greedy for her stories! This particular one was so very entrancing, a modern fairy-tale fable that I should not have read on the train home as I nearly embarrassed myself with crying over it. Her work often grabs at me like this, and this beautiful tale about the warnings we get from fairy stories and things we wish for is definitely worth a few days of anyone's time ^^
