![]() ![]() Alternate titles: Everybody Starves Let’s Talk About Bleeding Out Ritual Scarring And Other Forms Of Self-Harm. Yellow With Frostbite could have been the title of the book, as it seems to be a major theme. The author also really likes to harm her characters. There’s also reference to a more casual, distant looting and raping elsewhere, and there’s also ‘just groping’ elsewhere. I just read through the book one synopsis in book two, and it reminded me that in Cavern of Black Ice, rape is featured twice in the main plot. I still think things in this book are cool, and that’s a rare thing nowadays. The cavern of black ice itself, when it is revealed (not-really-a-spoiler: it’s a real thing), is something pretty unique and cool. This book has it, and keeps layering new mysteries upon mystery. I get a little extra kick out of magic systems and settings with a heavy dose of mystery. The arcane lore of the setting is also pretty cool. What am I, an archeologist or whatever? I’m not, but I’ve spent a week in the tundra in Alaska, and this book triggered a bunch of memories. Its “living in an arctic fantasy-land” setting is pretty cool. ![]() Compared to comparable works, like say, Conan, or characters from a Forgotten Realms novel, it’s good. Or at least, good for me? I’m not a literary critic. ![]() Ok, so, I just finished absolutely devouring A Cavern of Black Ice, and have already started on book 2, and I need to talk about it. ![]()
