The second novel in the thrilling and epic new fantasy series from the international bestselling author of Red Sister and Prince of Thorns. On the planet Abeth there is only the ice. And the Black Rock. For generations the priests of the Black Rock have reached out from their mountain to steer the fate of the ice tribes. With their Hidden God, their magic and their iron, the priests’ rule has never been questioned. But when ice triber Yaz challenged their authority, she was torn away from the only life she had ever known, and forced to find a new path for herself. Yaz has lost her friends and found her enemies. She has a mountain to climb, and even if she can break the Hidden God’s power, her dream of a green world lies impossibly far to the south, across a vast emptiness of ice. Before the journey can even start, she has to find out what happened to the ones she loves and save those that can be saved. Abeth holds its secrets close, but the stars shine brighter for Yaz and she means to unlock the truth.

Reviews with the most likes.
I quite enjoyed this one - in fact, I liked it better than the first book in the series.
The book managed to surprise me and at the same time confirm one of my suspicions about the history of this world and the people in it.
I did like the second part of the book slightly better than first one and I think the author would've done better to introduce the main villain a bit later than he initially did.
Either way, had a great time and given where this book ended, i am super excited to read the next one in the series!
