Frustrating main character until 3/4 mark

Solid 3.5 stars

I really like the author’s writing style. Unique word choice and beautiful descriptions and sentences really saved this book for me.

As the second in a series, it dragged. From the beginning until the 3/4 mark, I found myself in

Book 2 - still going strong.

This series continues to not disappoint. Still maintains a plot that keeps you on your toes and the characters continue to evolve. Great read. Only think I don’t lie is that I have to wait for the next book.

The scream I scrumpt

I LOVED IT. The story reads like a dream and it feels as though you have been transported into Dawsyn and Ryon’s world. Stacey McEwan is such and inspirational person and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us. I will be re-reading this many times. 10/10!!

love this author and love the reader!

looking forward to the 3rd book in the series, don't miss this one or the first!

Narration

This series is good. I really like it. The writer is a quality writer. This narrator? No. She makes everyone sound stuck up and bored and Dawson sound like a real b*tch. Her accents are well done. She has nice tone….but verbally each character sounds annoyed and annoying.

Cried so so hard

I haven’t cried this hard over a book since Fourth Wing. What an incredible ending! My husband literally had to hold me. However, I did find one aspect frustrating—the female lead stayed angry over an issue far longer than seemed reasonable, to the point where it became annoying. Honestly, it felt like that level of anger would give anyone a stomach ulcer! And the male character was just too in love with her, to the point where he practically worshipped her and lost his own personality. I really dislike that trope. I even tease my husband about it, asking if he feels that way about me, and he just looks at me like he’s worried for my sanity. It’s a shame because Ryon was such a cool character, but it’s like the lights went out for him. Despite these flaws, the side characters and the overall story more than make up for it.

Felt like an interlude to the end.

There was not a whole lot of plot progression until the very end. It would’ve been a three star if not for the action at the end.

Loved it!

Great continuation for the series, so happy the third one is already out. Already purchased

Great!

Great second book of this series. The author sucks you into this frigid world and brings these characters to life. Looking forward to the rest of this story!

Oh my gosh this sequel!

This sequel to ledge was so far elevated and I loved every second of it. I also enjoyed the narrators inflection of voice much more in this book, I don’t think they used enough in the first book. Great audiobook. Super recommend.
