I loved this exclusive sampler! This was a great way to get an introduction to the series! I have been hearing about this book a lot so I was excited to get a glimpse into what it is about.
This book kind of gives GOT vibes!
I can’t wait to read this!

Thank you to Angry Robot, Stacey McEwan and NetGalley for this exclusive sampler in exchange for an honest review.

Totally up my street, the world building was amazing and as a fan of GOT this was a brilliant first book in the trilogy. Some people may need a few trigger warning given but overall brilliant book.

I would love to thank Angry Robot, Stacey McEwan and NetGalley for this exclusive sampler in exchange for an honest review.

The premise of this book is really inteteresting: A group of people are living on a ledge in a mountain place. Each has a ration of food and wood to chop and use. The protagonist is the last in her family and she has a secret relationship with someone in the neighborhood.

Every once in a while, there are some dragon-like creatures who come and grab someone to take them over the mountains, but no one knows anything about where they are being taken.

At first I wasn't impressed with the story, but as I progressed with the sampler I soon realised that I was hooked! I will definitely acquire this book to see what is all about!

I'm sold!

Dawsyn lives on the Ledge, the peak of a mountain that looks down a deep chasm. The only resources the people of the Ledge have are the ones they fight for themselves and the meager rations dropped occasionally by the winged patrols of the ledge known as the Glacians. Every few weeks, the people of the Ledge are culled and the Glacians who come with their talons to pick up the people to either be dropped down the chasm or flown off to some unknown fate. Dawsyn, the main female character, discovers what comes next when a Glacian picks you up and flies you over the cavern. I am currently reading the full book and enjoying it.

I am very intrigued to read the rest of this book! I sampled a couple of chapters and I am already hooked. The MC seems like a very strong willed and interesting individual that I want to know more about, discover the world with her.

Ich weiß ehrlich gesagt nicht, wie ich dieses Buch bewerten soll, da ich es aufgrund relativ kurzer Ausleihdauer (ohne Verlängerung) nicht lesen konnte.

Set in a frozen wasteland, known as the Ledge, a waning civilisation struggle to survive not only their environment but an annual culling that sees them selected as human sacrifices. When Dawsyn Sabar is chosen, she is determined, along with the help of Ryon, to not meet the fate that awaits her.

Such an exhilarating, page turner of a novel. I loved how the characters were written and the slow burn romance really added to the already high stakes nature of the book. I practically dead this in one sitting as I couldn't put it down and I am very excited to continue this series.

This immediately pulled me in and I can’t wait to delve more into this world with Dawsyn. Going to buy both books now!

So excited to read more! I love the premise and even though it’s a bit different to what I was expecting, it’s definitely exciting and I need to finish the rest!

I really enjoyed this story & will be starting the second book in the series ASAP. The FMC was strong, smart, and inspiring. I pulled for her throughout the story. The slow burn was great, but I would have liked it to pick up a little faster with a little more spice. However, the plot of the book made up for that in spades!

I missed that it was only a two chapter sampler but I enjoyed the two chapters. I will definitely be checking out the full book.

Very interesting premise for a book. Attention grabbing story line. Not completely consumed by the writing. Would be interesting to find out where Dawsyn's story goes.

Good little excerpt of Ledge! Only the first two chapters. Unsure if I’ll continue on to read the whole book. May not be my jam!

Read these first two chapters so quickly, I was immediately drawn in and will be promptly adding the full length book to my TBR in preparation for its sequel.

I did not find myself interested in Dawsyn at all. She was a very flat character throughout the entire book. I did not relate to her in any way except for her attraction to Ryon and that was only because he was a very interesting and complex character. The world was not daunting or exciting and it did not reel me in, if anything I was getting bored with it. I know some authors dump too much world building but I felt like this author was trying so hard not to do that, that it made the world feel bare and missing. It felt like a good attempt at a first start, the writing was well done but the world building and character description was lacking for me. I would be willing to try another series from this author in the future.

First two chapters provided as an ARC. Enjoyed. Will probably purchase book and give it a full try in the future. ARC only included 2 chapters, so providing 3 stars as a fair rating.

This was beautiful, vibrant and full of life! one of those books that sucks you in immediately. I absolutely appreciate all of the thought and just creative mastery behind this. I heard about Ledge on tiktok and was so excited to be given the arc!!
