Summary

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 meagre 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。

Full review to come……overall， this was one hell of a debut novel！ I was hooked from start to finish。 Things that kept if from being a 5⭐️:- Ryon kept calling the female MC “girl”。- It’s told in 3rd person perspective。 - Some of the side characters felt super cliche。

This book is amazing！！！ I can’t recommend it enough。 Strong female lead character that has to fight her way out to survive having been selected as a human sacrifice in an unthinkable dangerous iced land！ Can’t wait to read the second one！！

Lindsey Gullikson ，

I’m still upset as I write this… BUTi give it 3/5 just because it is her debut book。 The plot is there， and the characters are slightly there， but I found myself wishing it was first person POV， not scattered third。 I think it would have made the characters more “likable”。 I will say， I did chuck the book across the room after I finished it。 So， do with that as you will lol。

I have not read a book this good in a long while。 Holy crap this was SO。 GOOD。 I honestly didn’t have high expectations for this book， and let me tell you how wrong I was。 The world building was done flawlessly despite this being a shorter read。 The characters are easy to love but refreshingly different from your average fantasy novel。 Let me just leave it at I loved everything about this read and you’re seriously missing out if you don’t give this book a chance。 The only thing that I am not oka I have not read a book this good in a long while。 Holy crap this was SO。 GOOD。 I honestly didn’t have high expectations for this book， and let me tell you how wrong I was。 The world building was done flawlessly despite this being a shorter read。 The characters are easy to love but refreshingly different from your average fantasy novel。 Let me just leave it at I loved everything about this read and you’re seriously missing out if you don’t give this book a chance。 The only thing that I am not okay with is having to wait a whole year for the sequel， but I can’t wait to see where the characters go from here in the next book。 。。。more

This book was entirely captivating， I love a fast paced storyline and this delivers that perfectly。 The main character is a badass that doesn’t feel unrealistic and I love the background behind why she’s capable of being a warrior。 I wish there was more detail and plot in some parts but overall I thoroughly enjoyed it

Even Better than I anticipated！Stacey has been so fun to follow on social media， and her witticisms and personality shine through in this first of her books。 As with any fantasy series， there’s lore and plot things to get through upfront， but the banter and pace picks up to a delightful cadence once we get into the banter of our protagonists， and especially once we start to get to know the squad。 Dawsyn and Ryon are ruthless and witty， and the steam level picks up too。Warning， this book ends on Even Better than I anticipated！Stacey has been so fun to follow on social media， and her witticisms and personality shine through in this first of her books。 As with any fantasy series， there’s lore and plot things to get through upfront， but the banter and pace picks up to a delightful cadence once we get into the banter of our protagonists， and especially once we start to get to know the squad。 Dawsyn and Ryon are ruthless and witty， and the steam level picks up too。Warning， this book ends on a bit of a “ledge” （sorry I had to）。 I rushed to read this first book （worth it）， but the next one doesn’t come out till September 2023， and so begins the wait。 “Stay the frost。 Mind the chasm。 The cold is not alive。” 。。。more

I've been waiting for this book to be release for a while since I started following Stacey McEwan on Instagram - so it's hard for me to be objective because we're obviously bffs because she accepted my follow。 Duh。 Did I start this book reading it in my head with an Australian accent for the first couple chapters？？ Yes。 Yes I did。Then I got over it and moved on。 Ok。 Dawsyn （why the y？ yyy？） is probably one of the boldest， takes no crap， fuck-all character I have ever read。 And I've read books ab I've been waiting for this book to be release for a while since I started following Stacey McEwan on Instagram - so it's hard for me to be objective because we're obviously bffs because she accepted my follow。 Duh。 Did I start this book reading it in my head with an Australian accent for the first couple chapters？？ Yes。 Yes I did。Then I got over it and moved on。 Ok。 Dawsyn （why the y？ yyy？） is probably one of the boldest， takes no crap， fuck-all character I have ever read。 And I've read books about magical women assassins living by their own rules。 I mean， （view spoiler）[ when she walks into the queens' castle and basically is all what up bitches？ Imma need to talk to the queens like NOW。 and by talk， I mean， they gonna be D - E - D DEAD （hide spoiler）] I was like， oookkkk we're going to throw down like that？ I'm into it。And also， thank GOD we aren't doing any of the typical I'm a macho man out to protect my woman bullshit。 Thank you Stacey for saving me hours of my life in which the characters have arguments about how he was just trying to protect her but she wants to be her own person blah blah blah。 Ryon gets it （another y？ but yyyyyyyyy？）， and makes me love him even more。I really liked the world and it was refreshingly separate from any sort of mythology or other fantasy references。 I imagined the Glacians as sort of humanish gargoyles。To sum up: highly recommend， twists thrown in， badass protagonist， steamy chapters， fantasy world thriller read。 Will definitely be reading the sequel。 。。。more

First off… the cliffhanger this book ended on was about as big as the chasm that separates the Ledge from the rest of the world。 Wow。 😳 Dawsyn is an axe-wielding badass who was born and raised in the isolated （and very hunger games style） territory known as the ledge。 Ryon is a hybrid half-human Glacian… part of the species who “keeps” humans like livestock on the ledge to sustain their population。 When Dawson is finally selected and brought to the castle as a sacrifice， Ryon proves himself to b First off… the cliffhanger this book ended on was about as big as the chasm that separates the Ledge from the rest of the world。 Wow。 😳 Dawsyn is an axe-wielding badass who was born and raised in the isolated （and very hunger games style） territory known as the ledge。 Ryon is a hybrid half-human Glacian… part of the species who “keeps” humans like livestock on the ledge to sustain their population。 When Dawson is finally selected and brought to the castle as a sacrifice， Ryon proves himself to be more than she assumed。 The two escape on the slopes of Glacian territory and unite （in more ways than one） in a common goal。I actually enjoyed the chemistry between Dawsyn and Ryon and the world was unique - which seems exceedingly hard to do in the fantasy book world these days。 I was even more impressed to learn that this was the author’s debut book。 It was well written， even if it was a teeny bit “shallow” at some points for me。 There is some spice， which is well written and appropriately incorporated。 The book really picks up in the last 10 chapters and that cliffhanger would have guaranteed I read the second one even if I didn’t particularly enjoy this one。 Now we only have to wait a year for the next book… *sigh*。 。。。more

I really wanted to like this。 I love Stacey on TikTok and was sop hyped for this after everything she shard about it。I found it completely unreadable， I made it 4 chapters and DNFd it。 The characters were flat， and the storytelling was lacking a little。 Now， those may have been sussed out if I’d read further， however the most egregious issue， for me， was the writing。 The book has a weird current active voice that reads like a children’s book “Jane likes water。 Jane gets up to drink water。 Water I really wanted to like this。 I love Stacey on TikTok and was sop hyped for this after everything she shard about it。I found it completely unreadable， I made it 4 chapters and DNFd it。 The characters were flat， and the storytelling was lacking a little。 Now， those may have been sussed out if I’d read further， however the most egregious issue， for me， was the writing。 The book has a weird current active voice that reads like a children’s book “Jane likes water。 Jane gets up to drink water。 Water is good。” Chapter 2 there’s a s*x scene where one whole sentence read “now they are standing”。。。 I’ve never been more dry。 Beginning of chapter 4: “One more step and Dawsyn’s heels will hit ice and she will slide into that gaping black mouth。” A rewrite might be “If Dawson were to take one more step her heels would hit the ice and she’d slide into the gaping black mouth of the chasm。”I found it completely unreadable with the short， staccato sentences in that weird “she does this， she does that” children’s book style。 BookTok promised this book was going to be everything I like in fantasy books and I've never been more frustrated trying to read a book。 DNF and I want my money back。 。。。more

I really really enjoyed this book。 Dawsyn is a refreshing take on the standard fantasy romance main character， she was self assured， witty， and knows how to read the intentions of men。 She is definitely not a damsel in distress。 And definitely does not ask for permission before she does things。 Ryon I could take him or leave him。 Honestly he was just kinda there。 The spice level in this was pretty mild， and there’s nothing wrong with that！ The spice scenes were descriptive without being graphic I really really enjoyed this book。 Dawsyn is a refreshing take on the standard fantasy romance main character， she was self assured， witty， and knows how to read the intentions of men。 She is definitely not a damsel in distress。 And definitely does not ask for permission before she does things。 Ryon I could take him or leave him。 Honestly he was just kinda there。 The spice level in this was pretty mild， and there’s nothing wrong with that！ The spice scenes were descriptive without being graphic （although there is nothing wrong with that either） with this being a planned trilogy I’m hoping we get more character development from the side characters and more from Ryon， because I am not sold on him yet。 I can’t believe I will have to wait a whole year for Chasm！！！ 。。。more

I learned about this book after watching Stacey McEwan’s ‘turning my husband into a fictional man’ series。 I loved the premise she proposed for ‘Ledge’ and I was very happy to see that the book itself did not disappoint！ Now， sure， there are some plot points and holes that I could use some background on （the magic/how it works， what is in the chasm/is it just a pit or something more， how does the geography work when it takes a few hours to get from the bottom of the mountain to the Mecca but day I learned about this book after watching Stacey McEwan’s ‘turning my husband into a fictional man’ series。 I loved the premise she proposed for ‘Ledge’ and I was very happy to see that the book itself did not disappoint！ Now， sure， there are some plot points and holes that I could use some background on （the magic/how it works， what is in the chasm/is it just a pit or something more， how does the geography work when it takes a few hours to get from the bottom of the mountain to the Mecca but days from the castle to the bottom of the mountain。。）。 But nothing that would prevent me from throughly enjoying the plot and characters。 Dawsyn is the FMC we all want to be and Ryon is the winged-male trope we’ve all come to love。 Can’t wait for the rest of the series 5/5。 。。。more

I enjoyed most things about this story。 The pacing was great- you weren’t spending pages and pages making decisions or traveling great distances in extraordinary detail。 It jumped right into the action and kept moving。 I wish there was a bit more character development。 You have little backstory on three characters that seem to be super important when they reach the valley。 Overall- good freshman novel。 She’s hilarious to follow online。
