The Girl and the Moon

“Yaz had walked on water her entire life, and now in this place where it fell molten from the skies they planned to drown her in the stuff.”

Third and final volume of Book of the Ice - you won’t want to miss this. As usual, Lawrence begins with points from the previous books to aide your memory. If you haven’t read books 1 and 2 - do so, in fact read all his books!

Yaz and her friends have reached the Greenlands - imagine having only seen ice, snow, melted seas, fish (eaten raw). Now, there are countless types of green plants, food aplenty and enemies that arrived before you!

What follows is a masterpiece of storytelling that packs so much into a mere 400 pages. The conclusion is truly outstanding and brings in links to previous trilogies in unexpected ways. Those last few pages…. no, even hinting would ruin it. Spectacular. Do yourself a favour and pre-order this. Read the first two while you wait.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collins UK for providing this E- ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book has a way of wrapping up more than this trilogy, turning things from not knowing where it is going, to cheering out at the way things ended. (and yes I did indeed cheer.)

The story follows along from the last book, and in typical Mark Lawrence fashion, once you start, you simply can not out this down. I love how his characters are both flawed, compelling, and even those you may not like to start with, you will change your opinion by the end.

I know this book won't take much selling, or me to convince you to read it, if you are a fan of his work, you simply will. And if you have not read any of Mark Lawrence's work, then please do, you will not regret it.

So, in conclusion: its an ending that will knock your socks off.
