Summary

Ledge is the heart-stopping beginning to The Glacian Trilogy from TikTok sensation Stacey McEwan @staceboookspace

After being randomly selected as a human sacrifice, instead of death, Dawsyn finds herself on a quest to save her people from their icy prison...

---

In a place known as the Ledge, a civilization is trapped by a vast chasm and sheer mountain face. There is no way for anyone to escape the frozen wasteland without befalling a deathly drop. They know nothing of the outside world except that it is where the Glacians reside—mystical and vicious winged creatures who bring meager rations in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice.

Dawsyn, ax wielder and only remaining member of her family, has so far avoided the annual culling, but her luck has run out. She is chosen and ripped from her icy home, the only world she knows. No one knows what will happen to her on the other side, least of all Dawsyn. Murdered? Enslaved? Worse?

Fortunately, a half-Glacian called Ryon offers to help them both escape, but how can she trust one of the very creatures that plagued her life? Dawsyn is a survivor, and she is not afraid to cut anyone down to live.

With a slow-burning romance, high stakes, and even higher rewards, this richly created new fantasy series by popular TikToker Stacey McEwan will keep you gripped to the very end.

Narrator made the characters into dull puppets

I’m sorry, but the narrator’s voice/tone for the male main character made no sense - there was no desire, no fire, no nothing behind his words.
Maybe if I had read the story, it would have made more sense. And I would have felt some compassion for the characters, but not for the audio version.
Story had something, but not enough depth for me.

enjoyable and Immersive

I loved this audiobook. I can't fathom why some reviewers did not like the narrator I thought she was brilliant, the only thing I can think is they didn't like her accent? the story was original and immersive, I was gripped straight away. I liked the FMC she was unapologetic, vicious and actually intelligent as opposed to many Fmcs who are described as smart then make stupid decisions. The MMC was funny and likable and perfectly happy to stand at her side while the FMC burned the world which is my favourite kinda guy 👍.

I really wanted to like this...

The first thing I want to say is that I really wanted to like this book - I follow Stacey on TikTok and I wanted to support her, but unfortunately I just can't. The book is YA fantasy - linear and simplistic, with absolutely nothing to give to an adult reader / listener. The characters are one-dimensional, and the writing style is childish and repetitive - written like a tenth-grader, who hasn't been exposed to the genre. If you are a YA fan, this book might be for you, but for anyone who likes complex high-fantasy, or grimdark: I'd suggest you give it a miss.

On the positive side - it is well narrated, but unfortunately that doesn't come close to saving it.
