Kingdom of Ice & Bone
“Nothing is gained by the dead envying the living, nor the living envying the dead.”
KINGDOM OF ICE AND BONE picks up just where the first book left off.
We find Lira and Reyker separated and with each believing the other has met their end.Struggling under the weight of their undeniable grief. Lira was saved by the Fallen Ones, and she is indebted to their emotional longing to be free.
Tasked with the impossible, unsure of her life’s path. Along with unpredictable powers, she still longs for her peoples revenge and her desire to see Reyker again.
Back with his brother, Draki, the Dragon, Reyker’s loyalty is tested with the darkness that surrounds his brother. Draki is malicious, and enjoys inflicting pain on others.
Solid narration the author drives the characters forward in an unnerving pace. The mythology is stunning, along with internal conflicts and the characters struggle.
This is one fantasy series that to me is really intriguing, I went in without any preconceived notions, and was captivated by this second book in the series. I do have to warn you it’s definitely darker than the first book, which I enjoyed. Criswell is a phenomenal fantasy author, her world building is expansive and vivid.
The shocking and heartbreaking cliffhanger that will have you gasping.
It was perfectly done and I am anxiously waiting for the next book the next book
