I was immediately pulled in from the first page. The way Stacey McEwan writes is very captivating. There was just enough of this sampler to show how much of an intriguing read the full book will be. Immediately adding this to my TBR to see where it goes from here! I'm definitely checking out the author's other works too

I thought this was a great sample and really drew me in! I will be adding this book to my TBR list! I’ve heard others talking about this book so I’m interested in reading more.

This teaser of Ledge gives you just enough to start to understand the makings of the world and also gives curiosity for what happens next. I think this has a slight Hunger Games feel to it, and I'm all for it. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens in the series. I will have to get the books from my library to read more, but it will happen soon!

As an excerpt, it is enticing, I like the writing style, and the premise is interesting.
I would recommend giving it a read, that being said, it is YA so I have an idea of where the story is going with the foreshadowing. Might go both ways.

Thank you to Angry Robot for the opportunity to read the first 2 chapters of the book! I first saw this book in stores around last fall and was instantly drawn in by the cover and the summary. I really love dystopian books and this fits the bill. Dawsyn lives on the ledge, a small spot of land on a cliff face where the Glacians come to choose a sacrifice. This is a gripping story from the beginning.

I received a sample of this in exchange for my review. I was really interested in the story based on the snippet I received. It loosely reminds me of the hunger games, I definitely am intrigued by the world and would read more.

Even though this is an exclusive small sample with only two chapters, I am hooked. I want to read more. I like strong female characters and I like the premise of Ledge. I am already anticipating she will be selected for sacrifice. I want to see where this leads...

I received the sampler for this book, and while it was engaging I do not feel I had enough content to write a review on it!

After reading the sampler for this book, it has definitely opened my mind to adding it to my future reads.

The writing style was interesting and invited the reader in very quickly. My hope would be that the rest of the story keeps me as hooked as the sampler did. Stacey McEwan has managed to draw me in with just a taste of her writing.

The best opener of a book I’ve read in a very long time. Can’t wait to read the rest!

The protagonist seems jaded but relatable, and should make for an interesting narrator throughout

This is a two chapter sample, but it definitely drew me in and I'm about to go look at purchasing the entire book.

Though we only get a short insight into the book, the world development is well thought out, that you're dragged straight into the world quite easily. Dawsyn lives in a cold, dystopian world, trapped there with others all doing their best to survive - all waiting for selection day.

There's a lot of mystery and intrigue in the first two chapters and you get the sense of what type of character Dawsyn is quite quickly.


3rd person POV

possible romance
mystery.

I'm hooked by the first two chapters! The premise and set up of the world draws you in. The writing style is mature without being too flowery. I get some The Wolf and the Woodsman by Ava Reid vibes, also Maze Runner or Hunger Games dystopia. So if either of those sound appealing then Ledge would be a great book to check out.
I am really interested in learning more about the world and the mystery that surrounds it.
Overall a beautiful start to a fantasy, with prose that makes winter come alive.

The first two chapters of Ledge are skillfully written to draw you into the world without revealing too much, leaving you curious and wanting more. The writing was poetic and set the scene well, and the brief introduction to Dawsyn gave a good sense of her determination and strength. I was so intrigued by this brief sample and will be picking up Ledge soon to read the full story!

Thanks to NetGalley and Angry Robot for this 2-chapter sampler of Ledge, which has made me keen to read more!

From the first few words I was immediately hooked, this is a brilliant start to 'Ledge'. Dawsyn already comes across as a likeable and strong character. The idea of the Selection is interesting, and puts in high stakes akin to the Hunger Games.

4,5 stars

The vividness of the world made me feel like I was right there on the Ledge. The author skillfully brings
the reader into this vibrant setting. My only letdown is that I wished for more.

A big thank you to NetGalley for offering this exclusive sample.

this book was fairly good.
I liked the plot and story of this book. I will recommend it and 4 stars from me for this toryline.

I had a difficult time getting fully immersed in this world, which could be due to the sampler nature of this egalley. Perhaps I would've dove in with gusto had the full book been before me? Who's to say. Thank you for the sample in exchange for an honest review.

This review is based on a sample that I was provided with on netgalley. I had a really hard time getting into the story it just feels too poetic where I felt like I was reading a very long poem instead of a book and I realize it's the pacing. It just felt very slow where I felt like I was waiting for something to happen and when it did, it only lasted a few pages then went back to feeling slow. While it's not something I felt I could move forward with reading someone interested in a survival setting book like Hunger Games would enjoy this.

What a tease! Blew through those first two chapters and needing more…*adds to cart*.

Pacing is fantastic, beautiful description of a snowy hopeless landscape with a mysterious atmosphere. I can’t wait to find out what happens.

Thank you NetGalley and AngryRobot for this preview.
