Nancy Farmer is an award winning author and 2 of her books have won awards and one of the books is the House of Scorpions and the other is the Sea of Trolls. The Sea of Trolls is a fantasy book crossed with an adventure book because there is fighting and there is made up creatures and if you like the Hobbit, you would probably like the Sea of Trolls. The book explores war against countries or places and this is noticed when it is found out that the humans are against the trolls (the evil.) Since this book has won an award, it has been very popular and many other people read it because it is a lot like the Lord of the Ring trilogy and the Hobbit.
The plot is for the humans to find a young strong boy and they did. His name was Jack and he and his little sister were captured by some humans called Northmen (Berserkers.) The Northmen want Jack to defeat the evil Half Troll named Frith. Frith is over powering to the Northmen and commands them to give her Jack. He puts a spell on Frith by accident and is told to find a way to undo the spell which has made Frith quite sick.
Personally I think is one of the best books I have ever read because there is always action and the language used is very detailed and interesting. It’s a lot like the Hobbit and I enjoyed reading the Hobbit and when I read some reviews on the book and found out that it was a lot like the Hobbit, I decided to read it. I would rate it about 4 stars for the book continues action and even if you don’t like fantasy books you would probably enjoy reading the book for its action.
The language is very detailed and Nancy Farmer must have read the Hobbit before writing the Sea of Trolls because the language is a lot like the language of the Hobbit. The writing style changes sometimes for example when a group are at a forest or castle the writing might be different from when someone they go to another area or if someone is talking the writing style is different.
There are many problems that happen in the book, like when Jack and his sister get captured by the Northmen or when Jack gets banished from the Kingdom of Trolls. One of the biggest issues is when Jack gets sent out of the Kingdom because of putting a charm on Frith and making her quite ill and when he is sent out of the kingdom he has to find a well that will make Frith better and if he never finds the well he will never be allowed in to the kingdom again.
Like I said before The Hobbit by JRR Tolkien is a lot like the Sea of Trolls because the hero is the most unlikely of people and there are small issues along the way like in the Hobbit there are goblins and in the Sea of Trolls there is trolls. Another example is the evil sides in the book are a lot like one another. Everyone fears Frith because she is very powerful and can do a lot of damage. Smoug is also very powerful and most people are fearful of him.
Sea of Trolls can be like the Tale Ban because Northmen and people are quite afraid of the Half Troll (Frith) and army forces and people are very afraid of the Tale Ban because there is a high chance that you might get killed, by both, Frith and the Tale Ban. The book can also relate to kidnappings because Jack and his Little Sister (Lucy) get captured by the Northmen and quite often there are people who get kidnapped.
The Sea of Trolls has had a great impact on my by that it taught me to take more risks instead of and it would probably have the same impact on other readers than it did on me.
