I really loved this book alot. I normally adore any stories that have twins and this book hit my sweat spot. I also loved the characters and how we got all of anders POV. I loved the mythology and the world building of this book so much. I also really loved the presence of the school in this novel and also the plot. The plot was a slow burn and the the pacing could have been cleaner especially towards the end. But I really loved this story so much and Amie really crafted a fun world but also a fun world! I will def be tuning in for book 2 :) I would rec. you read this book if you are a fan of percy jackson and fire blood. ( )

Wonderful, charming, great characters and impressive magic. Highly recommended. Book 1 of series. Sequel is Scorch Dragons. ( )

This was a really great story--my only disappointment was how abrupt the ending felt. Make sure you have book two within easy reach! ( )

I loved the Illuminae Files series, so I wanted to read more by Amie Kaufman. In a bit of a reading slump right now....needed something different....and this book was the perfect change of pace for me! Ice Wolves is the first book in the Elementals series. Magic, Shape Shifters, dragons. Awesome!

Anders and Rayna are street kids. They live by their wits. Anders struggles a bit, but Rayna always has his back. But when Rayna transforms into a scorch dragon and Anders takes his form as an ice wolf, he wonders if they really are family. A wolf can't possibly be related to a dragon. Dragons are blood thirsty, dangerous creatures who want to destroy everything. How can his sister be a dragon? When dragons appear and take Rayna away with them, Anders is determined to get his sister back. But he's in the Ulfar Academy for training as a wolf. How can he escape and go rescue his sister?

This is such a fun, adventurous romp of a story! I listened to the audio book while working in my garden and enjoyed Anders and Rayna immensely. Nice mix of humor, adventure and fantasy.

The audio book is just under 8 hours long and narrated by Johnathan McClain. McClain's performance is very entertaining. He does the character voices quite well and reads at an even pace. I have hearing loss but was easily able to hear and enjoy the entire book.

This series has two books so far, with a third scheduled to publish in 2020. Eagerly awaiting my library to shelve book two, Scorch Dragons, so I can find out what happens next! ( )
