The Ice

Usually, I'm not that into novellas. Often, they add a bit of extra info, but nothing that really builds on the story, nothing that adds just as much intrigue and interest as the regular novels. Well, in true Cahill form , he has done all this again in The Ice. 

So this new book is focues on Aeson and how he found the dragon egg (you know the one that hatches into a lovely dragon in the first book, if you have no clue what I'm talking about STOP READING NOW! And go start the series) 
This book is slightly different because we already know the outcome, we know the egg got back safely, and he protected for however long he had to. This did make me wonder if it might be a little boring cause why read something if you know what happens, but I could not be more wrong. 

This was definitely the darkest book in the series so far, maybe even a little horror like. These parts really showed how unrelenting and dangerous Valacia was or maybe is. 

There is a lot of family and relationship talk throughout this book, and how important these aspects are to these characters. We got introduced to many new characters alongside Aeson and his sons Erik and Dahlen. It was great to delve more into Aesons life and his friends. That character really pulls on your heart strings he has gone through so much and lost so many people. 
It made me realise how important Aeson is to the whole story. Without him, we would have no dragon, no draleid (no series, lol). 

Once again, Ryan has created a very descriptive and well written book. Everything is so well described that you really feel like you're in the story with these characters. He has done so well with making this book so gripping even though the ending is already known. 

Thank you again, Ryan, for an ARC copy. I can't wait to carry on this journey further.
