My Review:
This story is about a girl named Cassandra Clare or Cassie for short. When Cassie was a little girl her grandmother told her a fairy-tale about her mother, who made a deal with the Polar King and was swept away to the ends of the earth. Now grown up and almost close to her eighteen birthday, Cassie now knows that the story was just a nice way of saying that her mom died. Cassie lives with her father at an Arctic research station. Determined to become a scientist she has no time for make-believe. On her eighteen birthday, Cassie comes face to face with a a polar bear named Bear, who talks to her. He tells Cassie that her mother is alive, and is imprisoned at the end of the earth. And he can bring her back- if Cassie will agree to become his bride. After a few days to think it over, she finally agrees to go with him and become his bride. As days go by with Bear, Cassie slowly learns to trust him, and be happy with him. She also discovers about munaqsus and magic. But then Bear is kidnapped and taken to the same place as her mother. That is the beginning of Cassie’s own fairy-tale. One that will take her on a unbelievable journey across the brutal Arctic, though the Canadian boreal forest, and on the back of the North Wind to the land east of the sun and west of the moon. Before it’s over, the world she knows will be swept away, and everything she holds dear will be taken from her. Until she discovers the true meaning of love and family. In this magical realm of Ice.

My Thoughts:
- This book was amazing. I really enjoyed the magical world the author created and also the amazing adventure Cassie went on. Because it felt so real and unbelievable, like you could see what Cassie was seeing.
-The story-line was unique and different, with just a tip of magic... All the characters were so unique. I really enjoyed Cassie's character, she was so strong and brave and stood up for what she believed in. Also Cassie' s relationship with Bear, was so sweet and unique. Looking forward to reading more by Sarah Beth Durst in the future...
