Book Review of The Ice Queen

The Ice Queen
The Ice Queen
Author: Alice Hoffman
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback
reviewed on + 8 more book reviews


This book was ok, but not the best Alice Hoffman I've read. A little too much visualization and not enough plot. I found the main character hard to empathize with. Maybe that's the point (it is called "The Ice Queen" after all), but it doesn't make for a very good read. I much preferred "Practical Magic" and "Probable Future" because they have that element of magic, but you end up really caring about the characters.
