THE DAUGHTER OF THE ICE is the first book in the Legends of Elessia: Age of Rekindling series and I found it helpful, although not necessary, to have read other books in the linked series by this author.

Eregar is one of the main characters of this story, along with others including Erika, Lucius' sister. They are given the task of finding out why people are going missing. Unbeknownst to them, Elaine has risen and is busy making her army with all those missing people.

Now, I'm going to be honest here, I found it a bit puzzling that Elaine, the Daughter, was attacking villages and The Tower when they were in the North and followed her ways. That was just a small matter though and I could look over it as the action leapt off the page.

I enjoyed this story and look forward to seeing where it takes me next. Recommended by me.

not really my thing.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

This will be a short review, and for that I am sorry, My brain is shutting down, and I'm struggling to put much sense into my reviews!

I liked this enough to finish it, so that's a good thing right now!

I liked Callisto, I found her interesting and engaging. Her first person voice is clear and defined. I liked her!

There is much science in this book. MUCH. I found it a little hard work at times, and easy going at others. But I did find myself skimming over some parts too.

There is romance here, but I'm not tagging as such. Its very much in the background. I would have liked more, to be honest, it might have broken up the science.

There is some repetition of the same point: that men are ruining the world and only women can fix it. It got a bit much.

So, I did finish it, and I can only really stretch to:

3 stars
