Most fantasy novels either have them together from the start, or they SLAM together at the end just by happenstance and it doesn’t feel earned. This is the first book I have read in a long time that brought several different groups of people together for the climax in a satisfying way. The events of this book begin centered around a prophecy, that the old gods will be reborn and destroy the Urth, and everything extends out from there. Different areas of The Crown (the landmass not the kingdom) worship different pantheons, but all know of the old gods that were vanquished by the current ones and buried forever. It’s also been many millennia since the Earth has been what we know it as today, so society has regressed back into being more of a medieval type society, although science (Alchymy) and religion are studied equally in the places for education. One half of the globe is ice, the other is molten, but one circle gets just enough sun to be habitable. This book takes place on our Earth (Urth) but the globe has stopped spinning. I requested and was granted its DRC via NetGalley (The Cradle of Ice releases February 7th), and once this happened I requested and obtained a copy of The Starless Crown at my local library. When I found The Cradle of Ice (Moon Fall #2) on NetGalley the description pulled me in immediately. Source: Borrowed from the Pasco County Library Systemįind me around the interwebs at my LinkTree!
