The second novel in the thrilling and epic new fantasy series from the international best-selling 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.

Can be long at points and hard to go on. But I enjoy the other books, and characters. It is good story.

Entertaining

I listened to book 1 and 2 because I knew it would eventually tie into the Book of the Ancestors trilogy and it finally did in the last few chapters. Now I am excited to start book 3.

I loved how different this book was, and after reading about Yaz's story in the first book, I was hooked by the girl who controls the stars and river of power flowing through her. This second book was a little more intense, but through all the trials Yaz and her friends went through, they made it out.

Great book

I was pretty excited to read Book 2 after I read Book 1, however, I was a bit disappointed. The characters and their technology was so advanced that it was kinda hard to follow. The story itself also began to drag and took a dip in interest for me. I found myself struggling/just wanting to get to the end. The end however, definitely got interesting but not interesting enough for me to read Book 3.

I also wished the narrator would pick up the pace and read more lively during the action scenes.

It was a struggle

Just finished The Girl and the Mountain and can't believe how fast I went through it. I found myself entertained throughout this second book of The Book Of The Ice. Yaz and her friends continue their discovery of the world beyond the limited life they knew, and I found the journey as fascinating as in the first book. The narration from Helen Duff is wonderful. I highly recommend this series and book. Looking forward to book three.

Excelent Second Book
