I own this and intend to read it in the future I'm just clearing this off my board to reduce stress. I will update when I read/review.

This book is such an epic read, full of world building and prophecies. There are plots and schemes. Such an incredible journey that we are following through different povs. It’s very detailed and sometimes brutal with very strong characters that each have their own motives.
If you love fantasy and in-depth world building with entertaining characters then you’ll love this!

If you loved book one, you will probably enjoy this book too! Lots of intrigue , suspense and actions! Thank you so much for opportunity to read this series

After The Starless Crown, I wasn’t sure how Rollins would be able to follow up such a strong start to this fantasy series, but The Cradle of Ice delivered! Our crew may be in different places, but together they are working solve several problems in the world, including trying to stop moonfall from happening, and save some of the world by getting it spinning again.

As new characters join the intrepid adventure and some old ones are lost, I sucked back into the world and the adventure found within.There were a few things that I didn't really like (one in particular - the magic system does not seem to have bounds and when some characters are out of energy, somehow they suddenly aren’t???) but these were mostly easily overlooked due to the grand spirit of the cast of characters. Though I will say I did lose track of a few of the new characters because there are now a ton of characters in this. The ending wrapped up this book really nicely and I am excited to continue into book 3!

Rollins continues connecting "monsters" with men in a positive way. Pre-civilization guardians of order are showing signs of malfunction due to the centuries they have waited to be resurrected.

Love may or may not blossom between characters, and in some cases, animosity has been replaced by grudging acceptance of others. Giant bats, sea monsters, and demented cyborgs torture the few who are striving to save the world.

Sibling love and hate are demonstrated in spades. Short-sighted, self-serving goals seem to dominate the villains of the book. As mentioned in the previous review of book one, Rollins has outdone himself in this epic fantasy. Book one introduced a myriad of entertaining and exotic characters. A world is threatened by a prophetic doom seen by only a few. The rest of the world is caught up in political intrigue and treachery. Rollins paints some seriously despicable villains.

The breadth of Rollins's world is just shy of breathtaking. There is epic perfidy, familia treachery, and grotesque violence by even more grotesque characters.

Trying to avoid spoilers always annoys me as it makes it difficult to write clearly.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book and avidly look forward to reading the final book in this world-spanning trilogy.

The second book in a fantasy series always has the potential to be a hit or a miss. While I enjoyed this book, I didn't feel as connected to it as the first one. The writing was still done well but the story line seems to wander a bit.

I chose to dnf the first book in the series at 25% in and will not be continuing this series

Thank you netgalley for the earc.

Fantasy at its finest, we see our band of travelers faced with new and exciting challenges! Can't wait to see what happens next!

A good fellow up to the fist book! Took me a bit of time to get into, but a really nice read overall! I would have like to know some of caracthers more in depth. I'm exited for the next book!

I devoured the first book in this series: The Starless Crown, and I couldn't wait for this title but sadly I couldn't finish it even though I tried coming back to it two different times. The story lost focus for me when every chapter was about a different character and their personal history. I understand the value of character building but in this instance many of them were supporting role and I honestly didn't care to know what drove them. I wanted much more of the main characters and to continue with their journey from the fist book. A great story teller but in this instance too far down a winding road.

This book was even better than the first. Seriously. I need the next book asap! I cried like three different times reading this book. I was not expecting that. The world building just keeps getting better and better and the characters keep developing in ways that really keep you engaged in the story. Loved it!

I unfortunately did not have a chance to finish this title before it was published despite having an interest in it. Rated 5stars, did not finish.

This was one of my most anticipated books of the year coming hot off the tail of me finishing The Starless Crown. This series is everything that an epic fantasy should be. The characters are complex, the magic system is complex, the world building is complex. And it is all gloriously done! There is so much going on in this book, at times I did find myself getting a tad turned around at points, but it had more to do with me needing to slow down then the story. I can't wait to see this story continue and expand.

Interesting continuation of the story, but could use some editing down. Turned into a bit of a slog about halfway through, though the plot continued to be interesting.

This second installment in the Moonfall Series is full of adventure and action-packed. The story picks up where The Starless Crown left off and it was easy to get immersed into the story.

Oh, this was such a great read! I loved being in this world again, and watching them work to stop the end of the world was so great! Man, a lot happened in this book, and it was so great, and sometimes so hard, to read!

I was a bit apprehensive about reading this book. Don't get me wrong, I loved the first book, and all his other books that I've read. But it is a big book, and it's pretty intimidating. But once I started, well, the signature chapters and action scenes started coming and they didn't stop coming!

This book took us deeper into this world, exploring places that were just briefly mentioned, places that were in the plans that they drew up at the end of the previous book. I enjoyed learning more, especially Nyx's quest to the vast, unknown icy region.

There was so much going on in this book, with these characters that we got to know all split up again. They have this quest to prevent the moonfall. And while we've had these perspectives from the future that make it seem like they succeeded, who knows how it'll turn out! It was such a fast paced adventure, so much happened, and I need to know where it's going to go from here!

This was a really amazing book, and I can't wait to continue!

The world building Rollins is able to create through his words is honestly some of the best I've experienced. This book was daunting in length. At times, it felt a bit tedious and disjointed. In the end, however, it all melded together perfectly and left me aching for more. Rollins and fantasy go well together. I cannot wait to see how the story continues.

This second installment of the Moonfall series is intriguing and action-packed, with a well-developed colorful cast. Rollins has created a epic grim fantasy world with memorable characters, adventure and suspense.

JRollins continues the second book in the series with the same intense focus and attention to detail that he did in the first book. Juggling and keeping straight multiple POVs and the correct perspectives is awe-inspiring. It really boggles my mind that someone is able to keep such a large cast of characters straight amen it comes to what they are doing; where they are; who they are with; etc - but somehow he does it.

In this book, everything is just getting darker and that ominous feeling that drove me to continue the series looms on the horizon. Magic and industrial metal mesh-up as dark magic continues to spread its inky roots across the land, poisoning everything it touch. It's a battle that even the gods may lose. Except for Nyx and those that have gathered around her, they plan to find to stop to the aforementioned doom. No matter what. Be ready.

** Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to review this advanced copy of this book in exchange for my honest opinion **

I think this is probably more of a guy book. I wasn’t quite the target audience. It’s a solidly written grim epic fantasy with world ending stakes. I like character driven fantasy best myself and the characters were a bit weakly written but the action is great. So it’s good, it’s solid, but it’s not wonderful.
