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.

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.
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!
Thrilling new series

A fantastic start to a new series by Mark Lawrence!
Ok at best.

Loved his other books. Not his best work. Think he phoned this one in.
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
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.
A very enjoyable read
