THE DAUGHTER OF THE ICE is the first book in the Legends of Elessia: Age of Rekindling series and I found it helpful, although not necessary, to have read other books in the linked series by this author.

Eregar is one of the main characters of this story, along with others including Erika, Lucius' sister. They are given the task of finding out why people are going missing. Unbeknownst to them, Elaine has risen and is busy making her army with all those missing people.

Now, I'm going to be honest here, I found it a bit puzzling that Elaine, the Daughter, was attacking villages and The Tower when they were in the North and followed her ways. That was just a small matter though and I could look over it as the action leapt off the page.

I enjoyed this story and look forward to seeing where it takes me next. Recommended by me.

A tale of ice and fire
As a fan of the MK Franchise and seeing almost all tv/movie take on it I was both hyped and in fear of what may come of this.

Although it's not the best MK adaption available it's also not the worst (see MK conquest Imco) the character looks are almost spot on (Liu Kang wasn't quite right imo) and the plot seemed to have duped me (I was led to believe that scorpion & sub zero were the central characters, shame)

But for all the bad there is the good-

The fight sequences are spectacular, yes there may been random videogame references thrown in but concidering there during a fight scene and how it goes down... I there actually quite well placed (Kudos 😉).

The visual effects are beautiful, although their not there the whole time Scorpion and sub zero are hands down the best characters in the movie perfectly portrayed with Sonia blade in at a solid 3rd.

Main character Cole young seems to be just a plot filler, but the movie itself is not to be missed.

A Heart of Ice ( Araneae Nation 1)
By Hailey Edwards
⭐️⭐️⭐️

Reine knows marriage isn't about love. It's about making the best bargain you can with what you have and then living with the consequences. Wedding vows are alliances given voice, and I do is on the tip of her tongue.

Ennis is a man on a mission to woo the future Araneidae maven, whether she wants him or not. Her clan is wealthy, prosperous and in dire need of the one thing his people have to offer-protection. But one look at her and all thought of his obligations vanish. He'll court Reine, but he wants the feisty heiress all to himself.

Forced to entertain offers from her bevy of suitors, Reine is torn between duty to her people and loyalty to herself. Ennis is the man she wants, but is he the future paladin her fragile clan needs? She can choose to lead with her head or, for once, she can follow her heart.

This is a short introduction to this new world and I’m really intrigued as to what’s to come.
