Description
Fantasy. Fiction. HTML:The Icewall Cold, forbidding, remote, it stands like a dim white cloud on the very edge of sight. There Kerrick, an elf from the golden woods of Silvanesti, has been sent, an exile in disgrace. There too, a band of barbarian villagers make their stand against the remnants of an ogre empire that is determined to once again rule the frozen wastes. In the first book of this thrilling trilogy, Douglas Niles takes his readers to a land that most in Krynn have heard of only in legen -- the legend of the Icewall.

A good read. I like the way Niles handles the Ogre leader by not making him a buffoon or unrealistic. Also nice to read a book about parts of Krynn we are not familiar with.

A really fun read, especially for fans of the Dragonlance world. This book takes place almost entirely in the south pole region of Icereach, though there is a brief interlude in Silvanesti. The heroes are a young Arktos warrior woman and her friends, an elf Mariner and an ogre prince. Dragonlance
I enjoy Nile's writing. He does a good job of pitting the various factions and tribes against each other, creating distinct personalities and cultures. Well done and nice to read a Dragonlance story again. For those who've read his Forgotten Realms novels, this might feel a bit similar, but not too bad.
