I was very excited to pick up where The Starless Crown left off.

The Cradle of Ice is book two in The Moonfall Series by James Rollins

This is a well written and engaging read (as was book one in this series).
I've been eagerly awaiting for this adventurous ride!
The book has surpassed my expectations in a level I cannot began to express myself.
I was hooked on every single page and chapter of the book, something I really appreciate in a book. What I loved most about the book was the storytelling and gripping storyline.
The world building dynamic and intriguing. Great suspense and action.
And the characters are beyond memorable and wonderful to read.
I really couldn’t stop reading until it was done and I’m looking forward
In short - an enjoyable read.
TCoI is a wonderful read and excellent second book in a series I know will be epic.

Another great part to The Moonfall Series!

Tor Books,
Thank You for your generosity and approving this eARC!

I honestly did not really enjoy this sequel. I enjoyed the first one but I really didn't like where this story was headed with this one. And a lot of the narrative itself didn't hold much truth to what I thought would happen based on actions in the first book.

Thank you to NetGalley and Tor Books for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

The Cradle of Ice picks up where The Starless Crown left off, following the two separate crews as they race to two different parts of the world in hopes that their salvation may be found there. Nyx’s crew journeys into the (mostly) unknown, far out over the uninhabitable ice only to find wonders they never even contemplated. Kanthe’s crew finds themselves embroiled in the all too familiar world of politics and secretive scholars in the empire. Both stories weave their way towards each other and towards the common goal of finding a way to save Urth despite the obstacles and surprises thrown their way. Rollins again weaves a captivating story that pulls in myth, magic, and science. This story builds upon the success of The Starless Crown hitting all of the same successful notes. Well written characters, interesting plot lines, magi, mystery, and intrigue galore. It is well worth the time of any epic fantasy fan, though I would most definitely suggest reading the first in the series to get a firm grasp on the world and characters Rollins has created.
