Another great one from Lawrence. He writes the best opening lines of any modern day author, and then things go crazy from there. This new series is set in the world of the Red Sister trilogy, although we are far away from the equator here. The book follows the lives of those on the ice. And it is a typical riveting read as you would expect from Mark Lawrence!

Ok at best.. Loved his other books. Not his best work. Think he phoned this one in.

A very enjoyable read. Excellent world building and some great plot twists.

So. So. Good.. I don’t even know what I can say about this book. It was amazing in every facet, expanding the world of Abeth in wonderfully exciting ways, and I can’t wait for more.

Eh. I loved the Ancestor series. I absolutely will 100% recommend those to anyone who’ll listen. So when I finished the series I was thrilled to see that there was another series set in the same world by the same brilliant author. But this series is weak. There was so much care put into creating whole characters in the ancestor series, but many of the characters in this spin off fall flat. The ancestor series had characters you think about and miss after the books are over, characters die in this series and I just don’t really care. Rather than deepening the world he’d created, it feels like the author just used a fantastic ready made world as a crutch for a weak story.

Hard to follow. This is my first read by this author and I’m wondering if this book was edited? A lot doesn’t make sense and then other times the plot flow is disjointed. For example someone drops like a bag of skin, but then two paragraphs later they pop up beside the protagonist. How? Are they okay? The protagonist is shallow and lacks any depth of character. They can just suddenly do some magical thing. And another character could always do some magical thing but doesn’t use it until near the end? Things don’t make sense, plot holes are huge, it’s frustrating to try and keep up and you’d love to love the characters and the world and the events but the writing is all over the place and a lot is also repetitive.

Disappointed. Sadly lacking the power of the author’s other works. I had high hopes that the negative reviews I’d seen were exaggerated, but soon found I was having a hard time wanting to finish this book.

Let Down. In this books description it advertises as being set in the same world as Red Sister which is part of the wonderful Ancestor series. I was expecting this story to be on par with the Ancestor books but was thoroughly letdown. I’m a fan of Mark Lawrence but this story was dull and painful to read through

Thrilling new series. A fantastic start to a new series by Mark Lawrence!
