Publisher Description
A stunning new epic fantasy series following a young outcast who must fight with everything she has to survive, set in the same world as Red Sister.
In the ice, east of the Black Rock, there is a hole into which broken children are thrown. Yaz’s people call it the Pit of the Missing and now it is drawing her in as she has always known it would.
To resist the cold, to endure the months of night when even the air itself begins to freeze, requires a special breed. Variation is dangerous, difference is fatal. And Yaz is not the same.
Yaz’s difference tears her from the only life she’s ever known, away from her family, from the boy she thought she would spend her days with, and has to carve out a new path for herself in a world whose existence she never suspected. A world full of difference and mystery and danger.
Yaz learns that Abeth is older and stranger than she had ever imagined. She learns that her weaknesses are another kind of strength and that the cruel arithmetic of survival that has always governed her people can be challenged.
Customer Reviews
A very enjoyable read
Excellent world building and some great plot twists.
Hard to follow
This is my first read by this author and I’m wondering if this book was edited? A lot doesn’t make sense and then other times the plot flow is disjointed. For example someone drops like a bag of skin, but then two paragraphs later they pop up beside the protagonist. How? Are they okay? The protagonist is shallow and lacks any depth of character. They can just suddenly do some magical thing. And another character could always do some magical thing but doesn’t use it until near the end? Things don’t make sense, plot holes are huge, it’s frustrating to try and keep up and you’d love to love the characters and the world and the events but the writing is all over the place and a lot is also repetitive.
Disappointed
Sadly lacking the power of the author’s other works. I had high hopes that the negative reviews I’d seen were exaggerated, but soon found I was having a hard time wanting to finish this book.
