YMMV / The Ice Dragon

• Fanon Welding:
  • Some readers have tried placing this within the world of A Song of Ice and Fire by claiming possible connections, one of them being that the cold pool of water beneath the heart tree in Winterfell's godswood is the melted remains of the ice dragon.
  • One that's been gaining popularity is that it's actually an in-universe fairy tale from Westeros.
• Squick: Try not to cringe when reading about Adara's foot being impaled by a nail.
• What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: Though this is a children's book, it has its fair share of darker material, including that aforementioned mention of the time Adara stepped on a nail, a picture of a man who'd been frozen to death by the ice dragon, a passing mention of Adara's father beating her (though it was an unusual circumstance), gruesome war injuries, and a violent dragon battle where Adara and her ice dragon kill three men and their dragons.
