You Know You're Obsessed With the Icemark Chronicles When…

-Whenever Ancient Rome is mentioned, you hysterically laugh.

-When your teacher mentions the real-life General Scipio, you automatically go, OH MY GOSH ITS REAL!

-When asked about the real-life General Scipio's greatest enemy, you answer, without hesitation, the Icemark and Queen Thirrin.

-A test question is "What was the greatest weapon used by Ancient Rome?" Your answer is sky ships.

-When your parents yell at you for your horrible history grade because of this, you say, "But it's true!"

-When you see blimps, you give them a very wide berth and look for scary-looking men with fake hands nearby.

-A flock of bats passes overhead, and you say "Hail, Vampire King!"

- A scary looking old man with a fake hand passes by your house. You point at him and yell, "BLOOD! BLAST! AND FIRE!"

-You spend the entire period, instead of doing your work, thinking about how your teacher looks remarkably like Sulla.

-You inform him of this fact.

- You become paranoid that he has been reincarnated and is out to conquer the world.

-When you see the snow leopard exhibit at the zoo, you spend the entire day by it waiting for them to talk.

-There is not a day that passes when you are not thinking in one way or another about the Icemark.

-Everything seems to remind you of Icemark.

-You have a countdown going for how many days are left until the release of Last Battle.

-When asked about the most significant allies of the Vikings you say, the Vampires, Wolf folk, Snow Leopards, Lusu and Desert People.

-You see a new person and automatically notice how much they resemble an Icemark Chronicles character. Examples of this are your camp director, your teacher, some random redhead…

-There are people you know with names similar to Icemark characters', and you actually noticed this.

-Your vice principal gets a new haircut…and you actually noticed how he now looks so much like General Bellorum it isn't funny.

-When asked about the capital of Viking society you say Frostmarris.

-You're reading this, aren't you?

If you have been exhibiting any one of these symptoms, then it is already too late for you. The only thing you can do is go and read the latest Icemark book as fast as you possiblycan.

And yes. There was a real General Scipio. I learned about him a few years ago in history. He fought in the Punic Wars…I think…
