ICYLANDAR: THE ELF’S KINGDOM

             Icylandar is the title of a book by Dionvy. The story tells about the life of a young elf prince named Padris from the Kingdom Icylandar. His has a complicated life and knows so little of his past.He figured out that his parents were the prince and princess from two different kingdoms. These kingdoms are great enemies and intents on destroying each other. There are a lot of betrayals and it is up to Padris to stop the war coming between these two opposing kingdoms. Prophecies made it clear that he is the key for this to happen. Yet one prophecy said that fire would never rule. Elves possess certain abilities and powers, and Padris’ specialty is fire. This made him wonder if he was the one destined to do great things, if he is the right person whom everyone had put their faiths on. He then came along a problem where elves wanted human gone from their lives. He must convince them to believe that every living creature depends on one another, from the weakest, to the strongest. Despite what he knows, he must learn not to believe in superstitions since it is up to him to find the right path, along with friends who will always stand by his side.

REVIEW

For me, this story is actually rather boring. It did make me excited in some parts when the main character takes pride in what he does, but I would like it better if it reflects the meaning of truly living. It reminds us about the sacrifices we make, every hard decision we must choose, and what it takes to believe in what we can do. As God’s creation we can do great things in ways we never would imagine.

Recommendation:

This book is good for all fantasy lovers.
