review 1: I'm not sure I cared much for the world painted in Icefire. It had magic and intrigue. It had a little romance. It even developed a nemesis or two. But ultimately, I don't think any of the characters were very appealing.I never fell in love with the main character. I didn't really care how successful he was. And I didn't hate the enemy. Don't get me wrong, the characters are likable/dislikable, but there a spark missing that ignites your passion for a character.Admittedly, the magic principle proposed in this book is unique. In our world full of fantasy fiction, Patty Jansen comes to us with a story we haven't seen before. I think there is a lot of potential there. And maybe my review isn't fair because it's really hard to do a good job developing a character in ... morea novella. But ultimately I have to say that the book is OK, but I'm not sure I'd really recommend it unless you're just looking for something different.
review 2: Icefire is the first book I've read from Patty Jansen. It's a really intriguing story that had me flipping pages for the first half of the book. But the second half lost a bit of steam for me and fizzled out toward the end. I wonder if it's because it was setting up future books or if the plot became too predictable? Either way, it's a good read and makes me want to check out more books in the series.3.8 stars. less
