Book summary and review: The last battle of the Icemark

Summary: The last battle of the Icemark is presumably the last book in the icemark chronicles. Set a few months after the end of the previous novel, the blade of fire, this book is about how Medea teams up with Cronus, Oskan's mysterious grandfather, to invade the icemark, and take over the physical and spiritual relams, and finally to challenge and destroy the goddess. Cronus is the king of the darkness, and sends  ice demons to challenge Medea, to test her strength, and her worth to be a citizen of the darkness. Medea joins Cronus with the intention of  destroying her hated family, and Cronus allows Medea to remain so that he can have a capable allie to help in his insane ambition. Meanwhile, the crumbling polypontian empire, which broke out in wars after Bellorum's execution, is quickly being conquered by Basilea Erinor, who plans to eventually invade the Icemark. So far, she has been unknowingly been instructed by Cronus, as a means of distraction to lure Queen Thirring and her allies to attack her, while Cronus and Medea invade the Icemark in their absence. Luckily, thee vampire queen comes to the rescue, leading nuisance raids nightly on the icemark's capital, frostmarris, particularly on the cidatel where Cronus and Medea are. However, she cannot defeat them easily, and hence, has to withdraw and regroup. Meanwhile, Cronus cuts off all communication methods with the South, to prevent thirrin from knowing something is amiss. However, werewolves carry messages manually instead, and Oskan, realising what is happening, teleports all back to frostmarris, and finally, fights Medea and Cronus. Armed with knowledge that if he kills Medea, he will die, and hence Cronus will also die, he has to make a choice, and eventually chooses to sacrifice himself. Hence, Medea and Cronus are destroyed, and peace is restored.
Review: The book itself is great, inserting wit and humour at times that they make the most effect. It is definitely a book worth reading, full of suspense, and also occasianal irony and romance.
