Publisher's Summary

Ledge is the heart-stopping beginning to The Glacian Trilogy from TikTok sensation Stacey McEwan @staceboookspace

After being randomly selected as a human sacrifice, instead of death, Dawsyn finds herself on a quest to save her people from their icy prison...

---

In a place known as the Ledge, a civilization is trapped by a vast chasm and sheer mountain face. There is no way for anyone to escape the frozen wasteland without befalling a deathly drop. They know nothing of the outside world except that it is where the Glacians reside—mystical and vicious winged creatures who bring meager rations in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice.

Dawsyn, ax wielder and only remaining member of her family, has so far avoided the annual culling, but her luck has run out. She is chosen and ripped from her icy home, the only world she knows. No one knows what will happen to her on the other side, least of all Dawsyn. Murdered? Enslaved? Worse?

Fortunately, a half-Glacian called Ryon offers to help them both escape, but how can she trust one of the very creatures that plagued her life? Dawsyn is a survivor, and she is not afraid to cut anyone down to live.

With a slow-burning romance, high stakes, and even higher rewards, this richly created new fantasy series by popular TikToker Stacey McEwan will keep you gripped to the very end.

A strong debut

As a debut novel this book creates so much potential for the series. Lovers of ACOTAR will see similarities between Dawsyn & Ryon and Nesta & Cass. A strong female with a chip on her shoulder who needs to fight for everything she has and a winged warrior with a violent past. Even the corrupt/evil human queens is a nod to SJM’s series. The magical system seems a bit more complicated in this world McEwan created and I look forward to seeing where she takes it in book 2. The Glacians have some magic, the mage has magic, but most do not. So now that Dawsyn has taken from the pool, much like Nesta took from the cauldron, I am curious to see what she can do with this new ability.

Not my cup of tea

This book was more romance novel than fantasy novel. The strong female protagonist is not likeable and never redeems herself throughout the novel. The male character is just a vessel to demonstrate the independence of the female character. The best part of this story was that it wasn’t any longer.

Good first book, not great audiobook

The quality of the audiobook was lower than I expected, often the tone of voice would dramatically change - not to suit what was being read - but because it clearly was recorded at another time and stitched together.

The story itself is great, although if you’ve ever lived in a colder climate than you know the cold elements of the book are inaccurate.

Great ending to want to read the next book and great time as first book however I wouldn’t read it again.
