The story begins like magical as Patricia McKillips fantasy tale (eg "The forgotten animals of Eld"), in "The Ice Dragon" takes a psychologically simplistic Office girl contacted a ice dragon, but then the story takes a turn into stereotypes (War as in the 19th century, only that Trooper Dragon takes horseback riding) and ends so sentimental and cliched that I simply can not recommend this book.
Two stars there by myself, because the beginning of the tale liked.
