Review: Ice Wolves

Ice Wolves by Amie Kaufman
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Everyone in Vallen knows that Ice Wolves and Scorch Dragons are enemies. When 12-year-old Anders and his twin sister Rayna who were orphaned after the last Wolf and Dragon war find themselves torn apart they each try to find a way to find each other. But how can they explain to their new friends that their sibling is an enemy? While Anders is welcomed into the Wolf Academy his thoughts are constantly on finding his sister a scorch dragon. But how is this possible? How could there be a wolf and a dragon from the same family? In this harrowing tale of family and a country divided we learn that everyone has their own problems and that by helping each other we inevitably help ourselves. I am looking forward to the next installment in the Elementals series. Will the Wolves and Dragons learn to work together or destroy each other? I think with the help of Anders and Rayans new friends the country of Vallen is going to go through some drastic changes, hopefully for the better for everyone. I really liked how this story looks at how it feels to be different and to have secrets and that finding the right friends can bring out the best of your abilities. I was sent an ARC copy from entering a Giveaway from @Goodreads in exchange for an "honest" review. Thank you, Harper Collins, for mailing the book, Amie Kaufman for her insight into making this story worth reading again and again and Goodreads for their webpage offering giveaway books.
