This preview was excellent and based on this preview I would purchase this book. The character, Dawsyn, and the story are compelling enough that even from a preview it's easy to see that the book will be interesting.

Whattttt that ending??! I did not see that coming. I totally thought it was wrapping up semi-nicely…😭This world was so cool (literally) and even though it had some common tropes it still felt entirely different to me. Also uh wow I love Dawsyn, she’s such a strong FMC in every way and has amazing willpower. Seriously, she reminds me of me of Tissanah and Aelin and will be high up there on that list too (War of Lost Hearts and Throne of Glass, respectively). I totally was supposed to move onto a different book next but I guess I’ll be picking up Chasm instead!

This book definitely exceeded my expectations! It has a slow burn AND enemies to lovers?! SIGN ME UPPP! The worldbuilding was so immersive and it kept me glued to my kindle!

Thank you for the sampler! I have been so curious about about the Glacian trilogy ever since I started seeing Stacey McEwan's hilarious book-related Instagram videos.

The first two chapters really pulled me into the story and I purchased the ebook so I could continue the story. I am dying to know what is down in the Chasm!

Thank you for this 2 chapter preview of Ledge by Stacey McEwan. I know this was only the first two chapters, but I loved so much about this story so far. I will immediately be buying this book and series. Stacey McEwan's writing I can already tell is gorgeous. The world is unique and interesting! And I cannot wait to see where the plot of this story goes. I love a harsh / dystopian like world with a FMC who has overcome adversity and continues to do so. Perfect start!

Ledge by Stacey McEwan is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that takes readers on an emotional and physical journey of survival, resilience, and self-discovery. The story follows a young woman named Aspen who finds herself stranded on the edge of a perilous cliff, facing not only the harsh elements but also her own inner struggles.

McEwan excels at creating a tense atmosphere, using vivid descriptions to convey the isolation and danger of Aspen's situation. The psychological depth of the story is equally compelling, as the author delves into themes of survival, personal strength, and confronting past trauma. Aspen is a strong protagonist whose journey of self-realization and survival is both inspiring and heartbreaking.

The pacing is steady, with moments of intense action and quieter, introspective scenes that allow for character development. The plot, though centered around survival, also touches on deeper emotional and philosophical questions, adding layers to the story.

While the narrative is powerful and the writing strong, some readers may find certain aspects of the plot predictable or the pacing slightly slow in places. However, these small issues don’t detract significantly from the overall impact of the novel.

Overall, Ledge is an engaging and emotional read that will resonate with fans of survival stories and character-driven narratives. McEwan’s ability to blend physical and psychological challenges makes this a memorable and rewarding novel.

This was such a a beautiful way of world building. I could feel the depth of the icy coldness. The character development was excellent and I couldn't stop reading. I'm looking forward to the next book.

This was utterly addicting to read, and I devoured it in a day! I don’t know what I was expecting really, but it surpassed all my expectations! Thrilling and totally enthralling, the writing style is wonderful and kept me hooked from start to very end!

Thank you for this 2 chapter preview of Ledge by Stacey McEwan. Reading these chapters made me want to do a reread of this series which became a favorite of mine.

Stacey McEwan knows how to hook the reader in and keep you wanting to know where the story is going to go.

I thought the plot and world McEwan built was a refreshing change from my usual Fantasy books.

Talk about an opening line that hooks you:

“The cold is cruel, but it is not alive. It can consume you, extort you, and convince you to do unspeakable things. It can turn your enemies into body heat, and your friends into the coats you steal from their backs. The cold does not live, but there can be no ridding yourself of it.”

I absolutely loved this book I fell in love with the characters the story was really good and the pacing was on point I couldn't put this book down and I've brought the musical copies of the whole series I just had to own these books I'd highly recommend this series

I can't really write a full review because it's only two chapters. But it was for sure an intriguing beginning, even though it made me realize that this book probably isn't for me. There was nothing wrong with it, I simply don't enjoy this genre as much anymore!

What an amazing start to a book! There aren't as many books that have the ability to interest reader from the very start as there should be, but this is definitely one of the good ones!
The only reason I haven't rated this a 5 is because I only read the first two chapters (but rest assured that I will definitely be purchasing a copy of this book for myself to continue), and I usually rate 5 stars because of the emotional impact the book leaves on me and how memorable it is.
Thank you very much to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me the chance to read the first two chapters of the book, all opinions are my own.

I love this book! This was a great introduction to the world and the characters. Can't wait to dive into book 2! Thank you netgalley for giving me the chance to read and review this book, Stacey is now an auto buy and auto read author for me.

The first two chapters of this book are a promise for a rapturous read. On the Ledge, citizens must fight for survival between the vast chasm and a mountain face. Escape is futile with the winged Glacians keeping guard. In exchange for rations, they require a sacrifice at an annual culling.

In this world we meet Dawsyn, the last of her family, but all the fiercer for it it. She has thus far escaped the culling, but perhaps her luck is running out and an uncertain future awaits her. Somewhere between The Hunger Games and The Mazerunner this frozen tundra holds plenty of promise.

Wow, just two short chapters were full of so much suspence and intrigue! I am hooked!!! I loved how well our two main characters meshed and the little bit of banter we got! The creepiness of the ledge and the beasts that take people already has me reeling to know what happens the next selection day!

This is a sample of the first two or so chapters of the book.

I did enjoy the first two chapters or so. I though the story was gripping from the start and I am curious to see how it develops.

This book had me on page one and I stayed up way too late. I bought the paperback. I bought the rest of the series. I need to read them all.

I received the arc of the 2 first chapters and I'm hooked, It sounds so good that I'm buying the physical book right now 🩷

I really enjoyed this book. I’m a sucker for eniemes to lovers & will dive into any book that says it has this!

Love it when the MMC has wings, especially the bat kind!

I loved the idea of the isolated village and then exploring the greater world, it’s nice to see a new world through a characters eyes rather than the characters already knowing everything. I always get a tad emotional when characters ‘see the sea’ for the first time!

I wasn’t a fan of the ‘girl’ usage but that’s my personal pretence with nicknames.

First of all, congratulations on an awesome beginning of a series! I was immediately hooked and didn't want to put it down. She wrote characters that you could fall in love with despite their obvious flaws.
Found family is one of my favorite tropes and its got the makings of a great one with this trilogy.
The side characters are *chefs kiss* and they'll only get better.
The world building is so good and it made sense without being overly complicated.

I definitely recommend this one. It is adult fantasy but the spice level is quite low. Slow burn/ enemies to lovers/ great banter.
