I loved this! A nice short fantasy story. I immediately got into the story and the illustrations are so beautiful that I stayed on a page for a while after I finished reading it. Though it's geared towards children I think everyone would enjoy this light read. I'd love to read more books like this!
A fun, but dark, little children's story about dragons and winter, which has some thematic similarities to Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series. Enjoyable enough but nothing special.

I thought I was too salty about ASOIAF to enjoy Martin much anymore, but this was a really lovely fairy tale, lushly illustrated. It looks like a novella, but it's really a short story, and Martin's prose works really well within those confines. If you like a story that feels like an old tale but with a modern take, definitely give this one a try.
I listened to this one and really liked it.
This is a short story about a girl named Adara and an ice dragon.
Very powerful short story. I don't think I understand all the thematic significance going on here but I was very moved regardless.
While I understand this was GRRM's attempt at a book for middle-grade readers, and while I believe GRRM's prose is solid...this book was just sort of an empty fairy tale that did not really do anything for me.
Really enjoyed this, I'm not sure if it's actually considered a children's book since there are killings and whatnot. Even so, it's a great short story with dragons in it, what more can I say.
